Have You or a Loved One Suffered From Nursing Home Abuse or Neglect?
Perhaps you've noticed changes in your loved one that cause you to believe or question whether they are the victim of neglect or abuse within a nursing home or assisted living facility. The signs may be clear, or they may be subtle—an overwhelming odor, a large bandage that suspiciously appears, your loved one is wet, soiled, withdrawn, or has bruises and unexplained injuries that make you nervous and worried.
It could be a large and infected pressure sore that won’t heal, dehydration, unexplained weight loss, or a change in status.
When you visited and pressed the call light, did you experience an unacceptable wait for staff, or did no staff come? Was it difficult to find available staff to help your loved one or to provide them with basic care?
Do you have a nagging feeling when you think about your loved one in their nursing home—fearing the worst but hoping you're wrong?
Maybe the evidence of abuse and neglect is undeniable, yet you're not sure where to turn, trapped in a cycle of frustration, guilt, anxiety, and concern for their well-being.

Identifying Nursing Home Abuse: Key Indicators for Legal Action
Severe pressure sores that are infected and draining puss.
Your loved one requires treatment from a wound care nurse or doctor.
Your loved one has suffered a noticeable weight loss or dehydration.
Your loved one has fallen multiple times and suffered a fracture.
You've been forced to call 9-1-1 for your loved one because the nursing home ignored your pleas for assistance.
Your loved one has been sent to the Emergency Room multiple times in a short period.
Your loved one experiences an injury that results in a long hospitalization or death.
Unexplained bruises, cuts, or any injuries without a justifiable cause could signal neglect and/or physical abuse.
Failure to notify the doctor of infections or changes in medical conditions can lead to serious complications.
Serious medication errors can have dangerous health implications.
Marks and/or your loved one’s report of being restrained points towards abusive practices.
Unexplained changes to your loved one's physical or mental status.
These alarming signs often result in severe harm—including death. It’s crucial to seek legal help before the statute of limitations expires. Our law firm has over a century of combined experience fighting against nursing home abuse and is committed to ensuring victims and their families receive the justice they deserve.
