Wandering Off

Nursing Home Staff Are Responsible for Preventing Wandering Off

It's a serious problem. Elderly residents of nursing homes suddenly disappear and wander off into a nearby street or walk unsupervised into towns or fields. Nursing home managers and staff are trained to provide close supervision of residents with dementia and Alzheimer's but every year, thousands of elderly residents get injured after walking away from their care center.

Dear Mr. Mankin

First off, I would like to thank you and your team at Fernandez & Lauby LLP for taking my case and representing me through the whole process. As I had told you before, several other law firms would not take my case, stating that I had no case to begin with (Which I knew I did). I was extremely pleased with your services and with you in keeping me well informed during the litigation. With this being my first time going through a process such as this, it was all very confusing at first, but you were there to explain everything, step by step, and eliminated all the confusion. Whenever I needed to contact you I was able to reach you directly or you would return my call in a prompt manner. The two cases in which you represented me were both settled quickly and sufficiently. Should I find any relatives or friend in a similar situation as I was in, I would have no problem referring them to your firm. Thank you again, and the whole staff for all your hard work.

Sincerely,

Client
