Do I have recourse for injuries suffered
I had to place my parents in an assisted living facility. My father feel during the middle of night due to poor lighting conditions and poor care that was not provided. I had to pay 8000$ per month and it wa very expensive on top of that due to supplies my mom required I had to pay for, special bed etc. I paid over &76,000 and my father ended up with a broken hip and inability to walk due to the injury he sustained on their premises. The facility owner and assistant were not apologetic at all and did not care about his condition, he had dementia slightly and was a very nice person. I felt a lot of remorse and made a poor decision placing them there. They advertised that caring is their business but I feel like I was scammed out if all their life savings. I father died in a rehab facility after his surgery. My mom has been bed and chair bound for many years I had to take her home for a while due to no more money. It was very custody mistake on my part and do I have recourse??
