Nursing Home Abuse FAQs
Can I sue a nursing home for bedsores?
Yes! Bedsores (pressure ulcers) are a clear sign of neglect and can lead to life threatening infections. Nursing homes must prevent bedsores through proper care.
What if my loved one has dementia and can’t remember the abuse?
Even if the victim has Alzheimer’s or dementia, evidence like medical records, witness statements, and facility violations can prove abuse.
What if the nursing home says my loved one fell accidentally?
Falls are often preventable. If the nursing home failed to provide proper supervision, mobility assistance, or bed rails, they may be liable.
