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.
Woodworth is a small unincorporated community in southeastern Kenosha County, Wisconsin, United States, and is located on Kenosha County Highway MB at 82nd Street in the town of Bristol. The Kenosha and Rockford Railroad (the "KD Line") brought prosperity and activity to Woodworth, and a U.S. post office is located there. In the 1920s (maybe earlier), a large serum laboratory was built in Woodworth that provided wartime vaccines for troops and civilians. Woodworth's rural appearance has been featured in at least one on-location television commercial and at least one movie ("The Last Great Ride" with Ernest Borgnine and Eileen Brennan).
