As nursing home negligence lawyers, we help those who have been physically or emotionally injured or

We serve clients injured through abuse and neglect in nursing homes and long-term care facilities by seeking just compensation for their injuries. To do so, we have nurses on our staff who carefully evaluate medical records to determine whether a basis for nursing home negligence exists. If there is such a basis, we will bring a lawsuit on behalf of our clients and seek to recover for them compensation for all damages that they sustained. When nursing home and long-term care facility residents are injured by abuse or neglect, we are their voice to hold accountable those who are responsible. We take them to court and seek just compensation for the injuries caused. If a situation has occurred that may be a criminal action, we advise the adult children and loved one so that appropriate action can be taken. If a parent or loved one has suffered from abuse or neglect at a nursing home, please call us so that we may learn about the case.

Was your loved one hurt by a hazard at a nursing home, rehab center, or assisted living facility in Michigan? A new Court of Appeals ruling strengthens your family's rights. The court said a facility can be responsible after a power-operated door knocked down an elderly resident and fractured his hip, even though the door "met code," because safety has to account for the residents who actually live there.

Here is what it means for your family:

A new Michigan Court of Appeals decision holds that care facilities must protect elderly and injured residents from hazards like power-operated doors, even when the door meets code. Here's what Rusu v. Trilogy means for your family.

Was your loved one’s nursing home not what it promised? A new Michigan Supreme Court ruling closed a loophole that let licensed businesses, including nursing homes, dodge the Consumer Protection Act.

If a facility advertised safe, fully staffed, attentive care and delivered neglect, your family may have another way to hold it accountable.

Here’s what it means:

A new Michigan Supreme Court decision limits how licensed businesses, including nursing homes, can escape the Consumer Protection Act, giving families another way to hold facilities accountable when the care doesn’t match the promises. Learn what it means.

Was your loved one hurt in senior housing, assisted living, or a nursing facility in Michigan? A new Michigan Supreme Court ruling strengthens your family's rights. The Court said a 75-year-old resident who fractured her ankle in an unmarked trench near her building's dumpster can take her case to a jury, and that a facility must keep its shared areas safe for the elderly and disabled residents who live there.

Here is what it means for your family:

A new Michigan Supreme Court ruling in Bowerman v. Red Oak says senior housing common areas must be safe for the elderly and disabled residents who live there.

Michigan still has no clear law protecting a nursing home resident’s right to use a camera - and the latest proposed legislation may actually make things worse.

A Detroit Free Press investigation highlights what families already know:
➡️ Residents report missing belongings and gaps in care
➡️ Families want cameras for accountability and peace of mind
➡️ Facilities often ban them outright

While other states have passed laws expanding residents’ rights, Michigan’s proposed bill (SB 412) raises serious concerns.

Instead of protecting residents, it would:
▪️ Require written approval before using a camera
▪️ Require roommate consent
▪️ And most troubling—block footage from being used in court if those technical steps aren’t followed

That’s not expanding rights. That’s restricting them.

As OMP’s Donna Pappas MacKenzie told the Free Press:

👉 “This is not a bill that is in the best interests of nursing home residents.”

Residents already have strong arguments under federal law to personalize their rooms - including adding a camera. We should be strengthening those rights - not creating barriers that protect facilities from accountability.

This is about transparency, safety, and justice. And right now, Michigan is falling behind.

Michigan has no laws on cameras in nursing home residents' rooms, leaving families to navigate facility electronic monitoring policies on their own.

Untreated wounds.
Falls.
Delayed emergency response.

A tragic reminder of the risks faced by vulnerable adults in adult foster care.

A person who walked away from a Downriver adult foster care facility was found deceased in the Detroit River earlier this month. Authorities report no foul play, but Michigan law makes clear that adult foster care facilities have affirmative duties to assess elopement risk, provide adequate supervision, staff appropriately, and respond immediately when a resident goes missing.

“Walking away” is not an unforeseeable event. It is a known risk that must be planned for.

Grosse Ile authorities recovered a body Jan. 15 from the Detroit River. The person identified was missing from a Wyandotte adult foster care facility.

Michigan’s Mission Point nursing home chain has officially collapsed, and the final seven homes were sold for just $10 plus millions in debt.
