Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
You trust nursing home, memory care, and long-term care facilities with your loved ones. You’ve reached a point where you recognize professional care is necessary and you search for a place that you feel confident will treat your mom or dad with respect and dignity. More than anything, you give that facility your trust.
Unfortunately, these facilities often break that trust. Residents develop bedsores, they aren’t kept clean, they aren’t well-fed, and they are left unattended. As a result, their health often deteriorates quickly and, in the worst circumstances, they may pass away prematurely. This treatment is unacceptable.
Corporate Ownership and Misplaced Priorities
The days of the locally owned nursing home are over. In the overwhelming majority of cases, large corporate conglomerates own and operate the facilities. These companies increase their profits by under-staffing the facility and making fewer resources available to nursing staff and residents. Strained facilities provide lower-quality care, which, in turn, leads to worse outcomes for residents.

If you suspect potential abuse or neglect at a nursing home facility, there may be warning signs, such as:
