The Rockville nursing home abuse & neglect attorneys of Nursing Home Law Center LLC represent the interests of our senior community by holding negligent nursing facilities accountable for the harm that their misdeeds cause to the patients they are supposed to care for. As more for profit organizations enter the nursing care market, we’ve seen a growing epidemic of abuse and neglect that is linked to the prioritization of profit over quality of care. We’ve compiled the following information below so that you can see how the prominent facilities serving your area compare and know which centers to avoid when looking for a center to attend to your loved ones’ needs.
Rockville is located in the center of the Interstate 270 Technology Corridor, which serves many software, biotech and government research facilities. Its prominent employers include Lockheed Martin, Human Genome Sciences, Bethseda Softworks, Emergent BioSolutions and Adventist HealthCare. Its diverse population has grown over recent years to almost 66,000 and seniors make up approximately 14% of the total. In addition to existing retirees are thousands of residents that are rapidly approaching the age of retirement.
Those who are looking to maintain strong social connections and a healthy and active lifestyle as they enter their golden years can turn to the Rockville Senior Center. The center offers access to a state of the art fitness center with special fitness classes, a daily lunch program, day trips and special events. Its comprehensive selection of services has helped make the city of Rockville one of the top ten places to retire, according to movoto.com.
