Nursing Home Abuse is defined as repeated actions or the lack of appropriate action that causes harm or distress to an older person when in an institution or health care facility. It can take the form of physical, sexual, emotional and financial abuse, among others. Cases may involve residents of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities who have suffered physical and/or psychological harm due to negligent or intentional acts of their caregivers. A nursing home abuse attorney may seek to hold a care facility liable based on legal theories like negligent screening and supervision of employees, or improper facility maintenance.
Stevenson is a unincorporated community located in the northern section of Baltimore County, Maryland, United States. It serves as the location of the central campus of Stevenson University (formerly called Villa Julie College). It is also home to St. Timothy's School, an all-girls boarding and day high school. It is also the home of Gerald "Buzz" Berg, the owner of 9 bison that escaped from the farm and went through the community of Pikesville. Berg said that the bison were likely headed for the slaughterhouse after they were corralled on a tennis court. The family enjoyed three months of buffalo burgers following the internationally-reported incident.
