At National Injury Help, our San Diego personal injury lawyers represent individuals and families who have been devastated by the abuse or neglect of vulnerable adults in nursing homes and long-term care facilities. When a trusted provider fails to meet the basic standards of care, the consequences can be heartbreaking and irreversible. We are here to ensure those responsible are held accountable.
California nursing home abuse is more than a legal issue—it is a betrayal of trust. Whether the harm results from understaffing, poor supervision, or outright cruelty, our team takes these cases personally. We have dedicated our careers to protecting those who cannot protect themselves. That commitment drives us to pursue the full compensation our clients and their families deserve.
Recognizing the Signs of Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
Families often suspect something is wrong long before they have clear proof. Nursing home residents may be too frightened, disoriented, or medically fragile to speak for themselves. That is why it is critical to recognize the warning signs and take action quickly.
Common signs of nursing home abuse or neglect include:
- Unexplained bruises, cuts, or fractures.
- Sudden weight loss or malnutrition.
- Poor hygiene or unsanitary living conditions.
- Bedsores or untreated medical issues.
- Emotional withdrawal or fear around certain staff.
- Overmedication or signs of chemical restraint.
- Wandering or eloping from the facility.
- Unexpected hospitalizations or injuries.
If something feels wrong, it probably is. You do not need definitive proof to start asking questions. We can help you investigate and get answers.
