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.
Trexlertown (also Trexlerstown) is an unincorporated community in Upper Macungie Township, Pennsylvania, United States. It lies in the Lehigh Valley between Breinigsville and Wescosville. Air Products & Chemicals is located adjacent to Trexlertown. The town also is the home of the Lehigh Valley Velodrome. Jeremiah Trexler obtained land adjoining that of his father in Upper Macungie Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where he kept a tavern as early as in 1732. In 1734 a road was laid out from his tavern through North Wales in now Montgomery County to Philadelphia. As was the custom of the time, a village grew around the tavern, which came to be known as Trexlertown. -- 16:03, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
