Nursing home patients are among the most vulnerable members of our society. They are in nursing homes and other residential care facilities because they are no longer able to take care of their own needs.

At the Law Offices of Jeffrey Hasson, we think it is unconscionable for nursing home owners and staff members to abuse and neglect their residents. We stand up for the rights of nursing home residents by pursuing financial compensation for their injuries, pain and suffering, medical expenses, and more.
