New York nursing home abuse lawyer David Perecman comments on the charges filed by residents at the Garden of Eden Home in Brooklyn. The residents claim that they were abused mentally, emotionally, and financially by adult home administrators responsible for taking care of them. The New York nursing home lawyers at The Perecman Firm have handled all types of nursing home abuse cases over the past 30 years.

“Thousands of individuals are abused each year in adult homes, nursing homes and other facilities responsible for their care,” said New York nursing home abuse lawyer Perecman. “This is a tragedy that needs to be stopped and, in a number of cases, legal action appears to be the most effective way to send the message.”

Incidents of adult home abuse and nursing home abuse often go unreported. Residents may be reluctant to complain for fear of embarrassment or retaliation, caretakers may cover up abuses, and family and friends of the abuse victim may be unaware of the warning signs of abuse.
