At LA Injury Lawyers, we understand how heartbreaking it can be to discover that a loved one has been mistreated in a nursing home. We trust these facilities to provide seniors with attentive care, a safe environment, and supportive services that let them enjoy their golden years with dignity. However, far too many nursing homes fail to meet these essential obligations. When that happens, families and victims alike may face emotional, physical, and financial burdens they never anticipated. Having the right legal advocate can make all the difference in these situations. Our team is dedicated to fighting for the rights of nursing home residents and securing the compensation they deserve after suffering abuse or neglect.
Nursing home abuse or neglect occurs when a facility or its staff fails to uphold a reasonable standard of care, resulting in harm or pain for the resident. This can take many forms, including physical, emotional, and financial mistreatment. While sometimes the abuse is intentional—such as physically harming a resident or stealing their valuables—neglect often occurs through understaffing, lack of training, or poor facility management. Whatever the cause, if a resident suffers injury, emotional distress, or worsening health conditions stemming from a care breach, that facility should be held accountable.
Sadly, nursing home abuse is more common than most people realize. A significant number of cases go unreported each year, as some residents are unable or unwilling to speak out about what they’ve experienced. In other instances, family members may not recognize the signs of abuse, attributing things like bruises or sudden behavior changes to normal aging. If you suspect your loved one may be suffering mistreatment in a care facility, it’s crucial to act as quickly as possible.

One of the most significant contributing factors is chronic understaffing. Budget cuts, high turnover rates, and poor working conditions can create an environment where caregivers are overworked and undertrained. When staff members are stretched thin, they may unintentionally—though still unlawfully—neglect some residents’ needs. Or, they might become frustrated and lash out in abusive ways.
Another factor is inadequate background checks or a lack of oversight. Facilities that fail to perform thorough screenings on new hires risk bringing in individuals with questionable histories. Abuse or neglect can continue without proper supervision or accountability, especially if management fails to respond appropriately to complaints.
Every family wants to believe their loved one receives the best care. However, staying alert to red flags can save your relative from ongoing harm. Some warning signs include:
If you notice any of these signs—or if your loved one expresses fear or concern about specific caregivers—it’s essential to investigate further. In many cases, victims of abuse may feel too scared or embarrassed to come forward, so paying close attention is key.

Each state has its statute of limitations, limiting the time to start legal proceedings. In many jurisdictions, you might have two or three years from the incident date (or from the date you discovered the harm). In California, physical elder abuse claims have a statute of limitations of two years, while the statute of limitations for financial elder abuse is four years. An attorney at LA Injury Lawyers can help you determine the exact deadline based on your situation.
While a lawsuit can sometimes be pursued without relocating the resident, it’s usually best to move them if you believe they are in immediate danger. If your loved one isn’t at risk of further harm, you may decide to keep them in the facility. However, we typically recommend exploring alternative care arrangements whenever there’s a concern about abuse or neglect.
Yes, they are legally required to provide care that meets or exceeds the guidelines set by state and federal regulations and best practices. Failure to do so may constitute negligence or abuse.
Many nursing home residents have conditions that make it more challenging for them to communicate abuse. If your loved one is non-verbal or suffers from memory lapses, watching for physical and emotional warning signs becomes even more critical.
While accidental falls can happen, repeated or unexplained injuries often signal neglect or abuse, especially when staff fails to take preventive measures like providing proper supervision or assisting with mobility. We’ll conduct a thorough investigation to determine whether the facility could have prevented the injury.
Aside from filing a lawsuit or reporting the facility, you can stay proactive by frequently visiting your loved one, talking to staff members, and keeping in touch with other residents’ families. A strong, informed presence can help deter would-be abusers and ensure the facility maintains proper standards.
