Warning Signs of Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Our most vulnerable family members can't always speak up. Knowing the warning signs helps you protect them.

We trust nursing homes and assisted living facilities to care for the people we love. When they cut corners on staffing and care, the harm is often hidden — and residents may be unable or afraid to speak up. Knowing the red flags can help you act before it's too late.

🚨 Trust Your Instincts

If something feels wrong when you visit, it may be. Document what you see — photos, dates, names — and don't let a facility explain away a pattern of red flags.

What to Do If You Suspect Abuse

If your loved one is in immediate danger, call 911. Otherwise, document everything you observe, request their medical and care records, and consider moving them to a safer facility. Then talk to an attorney — a review costs nothing and can uncover a pattern the facility would rather keep hidden.
