Signs of nursing home abuse or neglect

Call if you see any of the following. Early action protects your loved one and the evidence.

How we prove responsibility

Duty of care

Facilities must provide adequate staffing, training, supervision, and care planning tailored to each resident’s needs.

Breach

We compare the resident’s care plan and accepted standards to what actually happened. Understaffing, missed turns, ignored fall risks, and late assessments are common failures.

Causation

Medical records, timelines, and expert opinions connect the breach to the injury or death.

Damages

We document medical costs, human losses, and, when appropriate, wrongful death damages.

Evidence we move to secure quickly
Time matters. Many facilities overwrite video and electronic logs within days.
