Know Your Rights

Understanding your legal situation is the first step to protecting your rights and getting fair compensation.

1

Recognizing Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Signs include unexplained bruises, bedsores, rapid weight loss, poor hygiene, dehydration, unusual fearfulness, and sudden behavioral changes. Financial exploitation — unauthorized charges or missing funds — is also common. Document everything and photograph injuries.

2

Legal Standards Nursing Homes Must Meet

Federal law (the Nursing Home Reform Act) and state regulations mandate minimum staffing levels, care planning, and residents' rights protections. Facilities that fall short can face regulatory sanctions and civil liability for injuries caused by inadequate care.

3

How to Pursue a Nursing Home Abuse Claim

Preserve all medical records and document communications with facility staff. Report to your state's long-term care ombudsman and Adult Protective Services. Then consult a nursing home abuse attorney who can investigate, gather expert testimony, and file suit against the facility.
