Nursing Home & Long-Term Care Liability Analysis

Independent legal nurse consulting specializing in nursing home and long-term care liability cases involving pressure injuries, falls, malnutrition, dehydration, infections, medication errors, elopements, understaffing, and related allegations of neglect or abuse. My work focuses on analyzing complex medical records to evaluate standards of care, causation, and real liability exposure.

What I Do

I have analyzed more than 1,000 cases as a legal nurse consultant, with a focused practice in nursing home and long-term care liability. I evaluate multi-facility medical records to determine what the documentation actually supports, with particular attention to standards of care, deviations, causation, and real liability exposure.

My reports combine thorough chronologies with clear clinical analysis so attorneys can efficiently assess case strength and build stronger strategy. I work independently and deliver detailed, attorney-ready work product.

"I do elder abuse and neglect cases in California. We look at hundreds of potential cases every year and the burden of competently reviewing all the medical records would take up all my time. I tried numerous consultants in the past and did not have much success in finding anyone to fit my specific need. They had their way of doing things and they were not willing to change in order to do the work exactly the way I needed it done. Joanna has been fantastic as she listens to what we are trying to accomplish and can tailor her expertise to fit the specific need. She has truly proven to be a huge asset in the legal work we do on our cases. Her work product is professional, always on time, and is always insightful."
