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.
Hartville is a village in Stark County, Ohio, United States. The population was 2,174 at the 2000 census. It is part of the Canton–Massillon Metropolitan Statistical Area. Hartville lies halfway between Akron and Canton, at the intersection of two main roads, State Routes 43 and 619. While Hartville is geographically quite small, Hartville has seen a major increase in commercial development in recent years, and is the largest commercial center in the northeast part of Stark County. Much of the commercial and tourism buzz has been due to local establishments such as The Hartville Kitchen, Hartville Market Place, and Hartville Hardware all becoming better known throughout surrounding areas. Hartville also shares a border with Uniontown and both these towns are part of Lake Township. Andrew Wellington Cordier, a United Nations official and President of Columbia University, went to high school in Hartville.
