Houston, Texas Nursing Home Neglect
Attorney
We Fight. You Recover.
Advocating for Nursing Home Residents and Their Families
When nursing homes fail to provide the care and respect residents deserve, we fight to hold them accountable.
Families trust nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and long-term care providers to deliver compassionate care and protect the health, safety, and dignity of their loved ones. Unfortunately, not every facility lives up to that responsibility. When neglect, abuse, or inadequate care occurs, vulnerable residents can suffer serious physical, emotional, and financial harm. At The Law Offices of Andrews & Associates, PLLC, Attorney Stella C Andrews helps families pursue accountability when nursing home residents are harmed by negligent care.
Nursing home neglect can have devastating consequences. Residents may suffer preventable injuries, worsening medical conditions, emotional trauma, malnutrition, dehydration, infections, bedsores, falls, and other serious complications. In many cases, families are left wondering whether warning signs were overlooked or whether proper care was ever provided.
Our firm understands the emotional toll these situations can take on families. We are committed to helping clients understand their legal rights and pursue justice when a nursing home or care facility fails to provide the level of care residents deserve.

Helping Families Pursue Accountability After Elder Neglect
Nursing homes and long-term care facilities have a duty to provide residents with appropriate care, supervision, and protection. When staff members fail to meet accepted standards of care, residents may face unnecessary risks that result in serious injury or illness.
Neglect can take many forms. Common examples include failure to provide adequate nutrition or hydration, improper medication administration, inadequate supervision, poor hygiene assistance, untreated medical conditions, failure to prevent falls, and neglect of residents with mobility or cognitive impairments. In some cases, understaffing, poor training, or inadequate facility policies contribute to unsafe conditions and preventable harm.
Families are often the first to notice signs that something may be wrong. Unexplained injuries, sudden weight loss, poor hygiene, frequent infections, emotional withdrawal, bedsores, or changes in behavior may indicate neglect or mistreatment. Identifying the cause of these issues often requires a thorough investigation and review of medical records, facility practices, staffing levels, and resident care documentation.
Attorney Stella C Andrews works closely with families to investigate allegations of neglect, gather evidence, identify responsible parties, and evaluate available legal options. Depending on the circumstances, compensation may be available for medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other damages resulting from the facility's negligence.
Holding negligent facilities accountable can also help promote safer conditions for other residents and encourage improvements in care standards.
