Families trust nursing homes to provide their loved ones with safe, attentive, and compassionate care. Unfortunately, neglect and abuse can occur when residents do not receive the level of care they need.

If you believe a loved one has suffered abuse or neglect in a nursing home, Beldock & Saunders, P.C. can help you understand your legal options.
Nursing home neglect can take many forms. Common examples may include:
Other common forms of nursing home neglect include:
Many nursing home injuries may be preventable with appropriate supervision, staffing, safety procedures, and medical care. Residents with mobility limitations or an increased risk of falling should receive appropriate assistance and monitoring based on their individual needs.
Nursing home staff should also regularly evaluate residents and their surroundings for potential health and safety concerns. This may include maintaining a safe environment, addressing sanitation issues, monitoring changes in physical or cognitive condition, and ensuring that beds, rails, and other equipment are used appropriately.
Family members and loved ones can also play an important role in a resident’s care. Regular visits and communication with nursing home staff can help families stay informed about changes in a resident’s health, behavior, or living conditions.
During visits, family members should remain attentive to possible signs of neglect or abuse, including unexplained injuries, changes in hygiene, emotional distress, sudden changes in behavior, or worsening medical conditions. Concerns should be documented and addressed promptly with the appropriate staff or authorities.
