With extensive experience defending long term care facilities, we know that the best way to protect our clients is to have an attorney on-scene immediately following an occurrence at your facility. That way, we can help navigate sensitive, complex situations. We call it ALERT — Attorney Legal Emergency Response Team.

ALERT puts an attorney at your nursing home within 90 minutes of a situation, day or night, seven days a week. And, the information is protected through attorney/client privilege.

We help by:

• Conducting initial interviews of all involved staff
• Providing legal counsel, if desire, for staff interviews
• Ensuring all event summaries are accurate while fresh in the witnesses' minds
• Identifying, isolating and photographing any involved equipment for future identification
• Ensuring that all appropriate actions have been taken
• Identifying any follow-up action
• Providing advice by phone if preferred
• Assessing whether your staff needs more training to minimize future situations
• Providing a privileged summary of events within 48 hours after we leave the facility
