Many Types of People and Entities Can Be Responsible for Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
Nursing home abuse and neglect can happen at the hands of just about anyone who works at or visits a nursing home facility. Our team will prosecute a case for you involving a wide range of potentially liable parties, including:
- The nursing home facility
- Other residents
- Practitioners (if the abuser is a doctor, we may need to file a medical malpractice claim)
- Facility administrators
- Caregivers
- Visitors
We will prove that one or several of these parties are at-fault for your loved one’s abuse and/or neglect as we work to recover the maximum amount of compensation possible.

Common Forms of Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect and Their Telltale Signs
Sadly, there are many ways abuse can be inflicted upon a person. Nursing home residents can suffer abuse in many forms from several people. In particularly poorly run facilities, your loved one may have suffered multiple forms of abuse.
Nursing home abuse includes the following:
Physical Abuse: Look for broken bones, bruising, or dislocations that the facility cannot explain. You could also find marks on the body from restraints, which is another form of physical abuse.
Sexual Abuse: Signs to be aware of include urinary tract infections, bleeding or pain that cannot be explained, and sexually transmitted diseases. Your loved one might also demonstrate agitation or fear when confronted with the idea of having to be in the company of a certain person with nobody else around.
Emotional Abuse: If your loved one demonstrates a change in personality, becoming more withdrawn, and listless, they could be experiencing emotional abuse.
Financial Abuse: Pay attention to your loved one’s personal items and affairs. If possessions go missing, if bank statements show unauthorized credit card charges, if you start to see surcharges on facility statements, or if your loved one suddenly changes their will, they might be a victim of financial abuse.
Neglect: If you notice your loved one missing medication or complaining of bedsores, they may be suffering from neglect.
