Smith Clinesmith, LLP

Living in a nursing home or assisted living facility does NOT take away a resident's right to vote. A diagnosis of dementia does not take away a person’s right to vote. A power of attorney does not decide whether a person can vote. And, only a voter can decide their vote. Empowering residents to exercise their rights and participate in elections is essential to ensure every voice matters! 🗳️ If you or a loved one are needing assistance in exercising your right to vote, contact your local Ombudsman or go to vote411.org for resources. #VoteEarly #Vote #Election #ElectionDay

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are still impacting industries today, with a shocking 72% of nursing homes operating with lower staffing levels than prior to the pandemic. Leading to increased strain on remaining staff and potential declines in patient care quality. 🏥 As a national law firm dedicated to representing such patients, this is something we see all too often. This is an ongoing issue that raises concerns about resident safety and overall operational efficiency. Join the conversation 💬 Like, comment, and share for #AdvocacyInAction.

Dear Nursing Home Corporate, Stop treating our elderly community like they don’t matter. - KL

Come join me at American Association for Justice regional meeting in Dallas on November 15th! I’ll be kicking off the day discussing the WHY behind advocating for victims of elder abuse. Why should someone’s life matter LESS just because they have lived 80+ years? It shouldn’t. Simply put, the elderly community is an underserved community that needs our help. I’m so excited to be speaking on a topic that lights me up and cannot thank my friend and colleague Dawn Smith enough for this opportunity!
