We've got your care home claim covered

Entrusting your loved one to a care home when they are unable to care for themselves is a necessary move for many, due to aging, disability, or a long-term medical issue. Care homes are meant to provide a high quality of care for those who cannot manage their well-being alone, helping ensure they are as healthy as possible throughout their stay. Although a care home should provide a certain level of service to your family member or loved one, that is unfortunately not always the case.

Medical negligence in a care home setting means that service is at an unacceptable level, leaving the resident in a state of distress and often, depression. In many cases we manage, care home residents also suffer from physical ailments because of medical negligence, many which can be prevented. When these devastating events take place, you may have a care home medical negligence claim for your family member or loved one.

How can we help?

At Patient Claim Line, we hear from many people who are concerned that a loved one residing in a care home is being mistreated, and that the standard of care expected (and paid for) is not being achieved. We can quickly advise you as to whether or not the care home has been negligent and if so, we can pursue a care home claim on the resident’s behalf. If they are unable to pursue the claim themselves for whatever reason (someone has power of attorney or they lack mental capacity etc), we can happily set things up so we can deal with you or any close friend or family member that usually deals with their affairs.
