We Investigate Nursing Home Situations For:

Nursing Home Neglect

Nursing home neglect occurs when a facility’s carelessness or dishonesty causes harm.

It is essential that family members understand signs of nursing home neglect in order to safeguard their loved ones. Contact us to learn about signs of nursing home neglect.


Elder Abuse

The signs and symptoms of abuse are similar to those of neglect and may include emotional and physical abuse.

While it seems impossible to witness nursing home employees inflicting physical harm, we can advise you on how to be aware of nursing home abuse signs.


Financial Exploitation

Financial exploitation is a crime. It costs millions of dollars nationwide & destroys lives. Victims are often reluctant to report because they feel ashamed or afraid.

If you think a nursing home staff member may be stealing or defrauding a family member, call us for an honest consultation to analyze the situation.
