Bahe Cook Cantley & Jones personal injury and wrongful death attorney Larry Jones is experienced in representing victims of sexual molestation and sexual abuse. Larry says that it is unclear whether the nursing home bears any responsibility for the assault. However, Larry who has represented numerous nursing home neglect victims says "nursing homes are responsible for ensuring the safety of their residents." Larry says it is important to determine how long the abuse went on and what the nursing home's policy is on visitors. Larry says, "a nursing home has to take measures to make sure that not just anyone can visit patients and that nursing home staff are responsible for regularly checking on residents."
