What to Do If You Suspect Nursing Home Abuse or Neglect

You should never assume that your loved one will directly tell you about any abuse or neglect they are experiencing. Many nursing home residents are intimidated into silence or feel powerless to speak up about the abuse. Others may have limited mental faculties that prevent them from easily communicating or even recognizing that something is wrong. Consequently, you must watch out for the warning signs of abuse or neglect when visiting your loved one.

Keep in mind that abuse could be perpetrated by a facility employee, another resident, or a visitor. The abuse may be physical, emotional, financial, or sexual.

If you have reason to suspect abuse or neglect, you should promptly report your suspicions to the facility’s administration and document as much as possible, including any injuries sustained by your loved one. You may need to remove your loved one from the facility if they are in danger. Then, get in touch with our legal professionals, who can investigate the situation further and determine whether you have a strong Albuquerque nursing home abuse claim. We can also help you formally report suspected abuse or neglect to the appropriate authorities and help you access resources that can help your loved one.
