MEDIA, PA – December 30, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Schuster Law has released information detailing legal remedies available to families affected by nursing home abuse and neglect in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The firm’s attorneys represent residents and their families in claims involving physical harm, neglect, financial exploitation, and other forms of institutional misconduct.
“Abuse or neglect within long-term care facilities represents a serious breach of trust and professional responsibility,” said Ken R. Schuster, Esq., founder and managing attorney of Schuster Law. “Our work involves documenting these incidents thoroughly and ensuring that facilities are held accountable under Pennsylvania law.”
Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Media, Pennsylvania, Schuster Law represents clients throughout Delaware County in personal injury and civil litigation matters. Its nursing home abuse practice focuses on cases involving inadequate supervision, medication errors, bedsores, dehydration, emotional abuse, and failure to provide timely medical care. Each case is reviewed according to state and federal standards governing nursing home operations.
Pennsylvania law requires nursing homes to provide residents with a safe environment and adequate medical attention. When facilities fail to meet these obligations, residents may suffer preventable injuries or health complications. Schuster Law investigates whether regulatory violations occurred under the Pennsylvania Department of Health guidelines or the federal Nursing Home Reform Act. The firm gathers inspection reports, staffing records, and medical documentation to determine how the facility’s policies or practices contributed to harm.
Physical abuse in nursing homes may involve direct harm by staff or other residents, while neglect often arises from chronic understaffing or inadequate training. The firm works with medical and forensic professionals to identify signs of neglect, including unexplained bruises, malnutrition, pressure ulcers, or sudden changes in condition. In financial exploitation cases, Schuster Law reviews account statements and facility billing records to identify irregularities suggesting misconduct.
Emotional and psychological abuse also fall within the scope of the firm’s representation. These cases may include verbal harassment, isolation, or intimidation that results in mental distress. The attorneys at Schuster Law document the effects of such mistreatment through medical assessments, witness testimony, and communication records, ensuring that the full extent of harm is properly presented in each claim.
In instances where neglect or abuse results in death, the firm represents families in wrongful death and survival actions under Pennsylvania law. These cases require compliance with procedural deadlines and proof that the nursing home’s conduct directly caused or contributed to the resident’s passing. Schuster Law ensures that claims are properly filed, supported by evidence, and consistent with both state and federal legal standards.
The firm’s attorneys also monitor regulatory developments affecting long-term care facilities. This includes changes in mandatory reporting requirements, minimum staffing ratios, and quality-of-care evaluations. Schuster Law uses this knowledge to assess whether facilities are maintaining compliance with updated rules designed to protect residents’ welfare.
