DO YOU SUSPECT A LOVED ONE IS A VICTIM OF NURSING HOME ABUSE OR NEGLECT

It is distressing when you suspect a parent or another loved one is being abused or neglected by the staff at their nursing home. Often, elderly victims are unable to speak up for themselves. It may be up to you to detect signs of abuse and take legal action against the facility to get justice for your family.
