What to do if You Suspect Nursing Home Abuse

Serving Atlanta, Georgia

Although you should be able to trust that a nursing home will provide attentive, compassionate care for your family member, the sad truth is that nursing home abuse may occur at even the most highly rated and respected facilities.

Even more unfortunate is the fact that many instances of nursing home abuse go undocumented. Some medical conditions prevent many nursing home residents from communicating instances of abuse or neglect; others may be unwilling to admit they are victims of abuse due to fear or embarrassment.

If you have a loved one in a nursing home or assisted-living facility, it’s important to watch for signs of nursing home abuse or neglect. If you believe your family member is suffering from nursing home abuse, the experienced Atlanta nursing home abuse attorney at Robbins & Associates may be able to help.

In the event of suspected physical or sexual abuse, you should call local police and the Georgia Department of Human Services immediately then contact the Atlanta nursing home abuse lawyer at Robbins & Associates, who can evaluate the circumstances and recommend a further course of action.
