Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect in North Alabama

Protecting Our Most Vulnerable Loved Ones

Many nursing homes in Huntsville and throughout North Alabama provide compassionate, professional care to their residents. But tragically, some facilities put profits over people—leading to heartbreaking consequences. When nursing homes are understaffed or staffed with undertrained, underpaid workers, residents are often left without the care and dignity they deserve.

At the DeFatta Law Firm, we believe every elderly individual deserves to live with respect, safety, and support in their final years. If your loved one has been harmed while in a nursing home, you are not alone—and you are not powerless. Our team is here to help you uncover the truth, seek justice, and hold negligent facilities accountable.

Nursing home abuse and neglect can take many forms, and sadly, it often goes unnoticed or unreported until it’s too late. Families may feel uncertain or overwhelmed, unsure of what to look for or how to respond. That’s where we come in.

Let us help you evaluate your concerns and determine whether legal action is necessary. At DeFatta Law Firm, we investigate claims involving:

• Falls and preventable injuries
• Physical abuse by staff or other residents
• Emotional or psychological abuse
• Sexual abuse
• Financial exploitation or theft
• Chronic neglect (dehydration, malnutrition, bedsores, poor hygiene)
• Wrongful death due to neglect or mistreatment

If you suspect something isn’t right, trust your instincts. Your loved one may not be able to speak up—but you can.
