We help you take action when a care facility fails to provide the safety and respect your family deserves.

Abuse and neglect in nursing homes can take many forms—physical injuries, emotional harm, or untreated medical conditions. We investigate your concerns, gather evidence, and fight for justice on behalf of those who can’t always speak for themselves.

Recognizing the Warning Signs

Unexplained injuries, poor hygiene, emotional withdrawal, or sudden health declines may be signs of abuse or neglect. We help you document concerns and take swift legal action.

Accountability for Facilities and Staff

Whether the harm was caused by understaffing, poor supervision, or outright abuse, we hold the facility—and those responsible—legally accountable.
