We love the natural and architectural beauty that Fitchburg offers. Nestled along the Nashua River and known for its charming Victorian-style homes that were built at the height of the industrial boom, it’s a shame that Fitchburg is no more immune to dangerous accidents than any other town in Massachusetts.
Sadly, in recent years there have been several car accidents that have seriously injured or even taken the lives of some of the residents of Fitchburg. However, motor vehicle accidents are just one possible source of personal injury.
The legal team at Jason Stone is skilled in a wide range of personal injury law areas. If you or a loved one has sustained serious injuries from an accident you may be entitled to financial compensation. Contact us today to setup up your free initial consultation.

Signs of Nursing Home Abuse
There are about 20 nursing homes in and around Fitchburg. If your loved one is dwelling in one of these homes, then you know the transition from a home environment to a nursing home or long-term care facility is not always easy. You want to make sure your loved one is being well taken care of and respected. Tragically, that is not always the case, and many nursing home residents are victims of various types of abuse.
If you know or suspect that your loved one has been a victim of nursing home abuse, we understand that you may be experiencing a wide range of emotions from outrage to sadness and disbelief. The nursing home abuse lawyers at Jason Stone understand how distraught families are when they find out their loved one has been a victim of nursing home abuse. We are experienced in handling the various types of nursing home abuse cases.
These cases typically fall into the following categories.
Neglect
Nursing home staff are obligated to provide residents with a high standard of care. When this standard is not being met, the nursing home or long-term care facility can be found negligent.
The following are signs that your loved one is being neglected:
- Looking unkempt or showing signs of poor hygiene
- Room is dirty or the bed sheets haven’t been washed or changed
- Bedsores from not being moved often enough
- The presence of obstacles or hazards that could cause slip-and-fall accidents
Emotional abuse
This can include verbal abuse, bullying, withholding necessary care as a form of “punishment,” or isolation. Take note if your loved one experiences a change in personality or behavior, if he or she becomes quiet or withdrawn when a certain staff member enters the room, or if staff refuse to leave you alone with your loved one.
Physical abuse
This occurs when a nursing home employee, fellow resident, or visitor causes bodily harm or pain and suffering to the resident.
Examples of physical abuse include:
- Restraint marks
- Slapping
- Hitting
- Kicking
- Shoving
- Burning
Sexual abuse
When the resident is forced to engage in physical or sexual conduct that is non-consensual and unwanted, it is truly devastating.
This kind of abuse can include:
- Rape
- Unwanted touching
- Sexual harassment
- Sharing sexually explicit photos
Financial abuse
This is unauthorized use of a resident’s financial resources, which can include:
- Stealing
- Forcing the resident to change his or her will or estate
- Opening credit cards in the resident’s name
