St. Charles, IL Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys
Elder abuse and elder neglect is inexcusable.
At Clancy Law, we recognize nursing home residents are some of the most vulnerable and defenseless victims of personal injury. With our own loved ones in mind, we act quickly to hold irresponsible nursing homes accountable for the pain and suffering they cause by placing profits before the care and welfare of their elderly residents. We subpoena facility and medical care records, question employees and thoroughly investigate every aspect of the daily care they are required to provide by law.
Drawing from more than 75 years of combined experience, the attorneys at Clancy Law represent people throughout the Chicago, Illinois, area who have been harmed by nursing home neglect or abuse. If you suspect that an elderly loved one is not receiving the quality care they deserve from a nursing care residence, call 630-524-4338 or contact our firm today.

Recognizing the Warning Signs
Because you can't be there at all hours of the day, it can be hard to know whether or not someone is being abused or neglected in a nursing home. In general, however, understaffed facilities are more likely to have problems. Mysterious and unexplained injuries, bruises around the wrists or ankles, depression, withdrawal, delirium and sudden mood or personality changes are also common signs of abuse.
Breaking the Silence
Our elderly parents and relatives are often afraid and too humiliated to speak out against their abusers. That's why it's important for you to bring possible situations of elder abuse or long-term care neglect to the attention of our lawyers immediately. Acting with the full force of the law, we initiate legal proceedings to protect your loved one and hold nursing home operators accountable.
