Some signs of neglect or abuse are obvious. Others show up as changes in health, behavior or care that don’t add up. If your loved one has been harmed, these are some of the warning signs we look for.
Abuse inside the facility
Physical or sexual assault, threats and emotional mistreatment can come from staff or other residents. We can also look into whether a loved one was left unsupervised or wandered away from the facility.

Medication neglect and overmedication
Missed doses, medication given to the wrong resident, or a loved one kept sedated to make them easier to manage. If staff failed to give medication as prescribed, we can review whether that failure caused harm.

Staff delays in stroke and emergency care
When a resident shows signs of a stroke or medical emergency, staff must act quickly. If staff ignored the signs, delayed calling for help or waited to transfer your loved one to a hospital, we can review whether that delay caused additional harm.

What families want to know.
Can I sue a nursing home for neglect?+
You may have a claim if a nursing home's neglect caused your loved one harm, such as advanced bedsores, a fall that led to a broken bone, or dehydration. A warning sign alone does not prove neglect. Your loved one's health, care plan and the care they received all matter, and who can bring a claim depends on the circumstances and state law. Tell us what happened, and an attorney can review your options.
Do you handle assisted living cases too?+
Yes. We review abuse and neglect involving nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, residential care facilities for older adults and other adult care facilities. Share the facility's name and what happened so we can review whether we can help.
What if my loved one already had serious health problems?+
Age, frailty, dementia, illness or other existing conditions do not automatically rule out a claim. Facilities are responsible for providing care that meets each resident's needs. If poor care caused additional harm or contributed to a decline, your family may still have options. We can review what happened and explain whether we may be able to help.
What if I didn't see what happened to my loved one?+
Most families are not there when an injury or incident happens. You do not need to have witnessed it to speak with us. Medical records, facility documentation, witnesses, photographs and changes in your loved one's condition can help an attorney piece together what happened.
How do I report nursing home abuse or neglect?+
Call 911 if your loved one is in immediate danger or needs emergency medical care. For other concerns, contact your state's long-term care ombudsman or the agency that licenses the facility. The right contact depends on the state and facility type. Reporting a concern is separate from pursuing a legal claim, so do not wait for an investigation to ask an attorney about deadlines.
How long do I have to file a nursing home abuse claim?+
Deadlines vary by state, the type of claim and the circumstances. Some can be short. Contact an attorney promptly rather than assuming you have time or waiting for a facility investigation to finish. We can review the dates and explain which deadlines may apply.
What should I have ready for a consultation?+
Share the facility's name, what happened and any dates you remember. Notes, photos, messages or records you already have may help, but you do not need to gather everything before contacting us.
What does a consultation or a case cost?+
Your consultation is free and confidential. We work on contingency: you pay nothing unless we recover money for you. We fund every case we take, including medical records, experts and investigators. You are not asked to pay up front to obtain records.
