Montgomery County Nursing Homes

The Higgins Firm has litigated nursing home neglect cases, catastrophic motorcycle accidents cases and personal injury cases in Clarksville, Tennessee and across the southeast. Many of these cases were referred to us by lawyers in the Clarksville area and others were sent to us by our former clients. We are truly honored when our law firm receives a case as the result of referral from a fellow attorney or former client. We don’t take this trust lightly and we put all of the resources necessary to present our client’s case in the best light possible.

Because of our increased case load in Montgomery County, we have opened a local office at 1989 Madison Street, Clarksville, TN 37043. We are happy to meet with our clients at the local office, their residence or our main Nashville office. Whatever works best for our clients.

As middle Tennessee grows the city of Clarksville grows with it. Clarksville is currently the ninth largest city in our state and it appears to be moving up that list. Although the current population is just under 200,000 it has grown almost 28% since 2000. The fortunate citizens of Montgomery County have access to the river park on the Cumberland, Dunbar Cave, Fort Campbell and Austin Peay University. In addition to the city of Clarksville, Montgomery County also includes Bel-Air Estates, Kenwood, New Providence, Ringgold, Ashland Hills and Park Lane.

Over the years we have handled many nursing home malpractices cases in Clarksville, Tennessee and in the surrounding counties. Currently there are four nursing homes in Clarksville, Tennessee. These homes are Grace Healthcare of Clarksville, Spring Meadows Health Care Center, Signature Healthcare of Clarksville and Clarksville Manor Nursing Center. To date, our office has represented families against two of these homes. However, the terms of the settlement related to those cases are confidential.

We often find that the underlying cause of nursing home neglect is that the home is simply understaffed. If there are not enough caregivers in a home to care for the residents than many will not receive the basic care that is needed. How can you make sure everyone is feed, gets enough water, or that residents are turned to prevent bedsores if there are not enough workers in the nursing home? Unfortunately, an easy way to increase profits is to cut or underpay staff at the expense of the residents.

If you have a loved one in a Clarksville Nursing Home and suspect neglect please feel free to call us today. Remember that one of the best ways to prevent poor care is to be involved with the care of your loved one. Make sure to visit the home often and at different times. Get to know the staff and other patients. Bring any concerns about the care to the attention of the staff and the administrator as soon as possible.
