What should I do if I think my loved one has been abused in a nursing home?

Law Offices of James Sokolove, LLC

The question is, was a nursing home resident injured as a result of negligence by the nursing home operator. The first thing that one should do is report the incident to the state nursing home ombudsman. Then the next thing they should do is confer with the nursing home administrator and go over their complaints and what is going wrong, and then the next thing they should do is contact an attorney who concentrates in nursing home abuse cases so the matter can be investigated and obtain all of the records and most importantly, can we get witnesses, can we get other staff members to come forward to talk about what was staffing ratios, what happened, and get the true story as to what caused the injury to the elderly resident.
