By law, group homes must provide adequate supervision and any assistance necessary to keep their residents safe from harm.

Unfortunately, individual support plans and laws are written on paper. It should also be noted that the underfunded government agencies responsible for the care of the developmentally disabled can provide little in the way of the day-to-day oversight needed to ensure the laws are obeyed consistently.

Generally speaking, negligent supervision can be the end result of any number of causes including budgetary restraints, a desire to increase profits, poor training or poor applicant screening procedures. Whatever the reason — high resident to staff ratios are a serious threat to the safety of every group home resident in every state in the country.

Today, you can protect the rights of your family and look out for your loved one's future by taking legal action to hold staff members and homes responsible for lack of supervision. Working together, our attorneys will make sure your loved one gets the medical care they need and the financial compensation they deserve — and we will give your family a voice during this difficult time.
