If someone you love was harmed in a facility
Falls that shouldn't have happened, bedsores, unexplained injuries, dehydration, abuse. If the facility's inspection record shows a pattern, what happened to your family may be part of it — and you have options.
What to know first
- Report it now, regardless of anything else: your state's Adult Protective Services and the long-term-care ombudsman (free, independent, in every state). In an emergency, 911.
- Document while it's fresh: photos, dates, names, medical records requests. The facility's own chart and the state's inspection findings are usually the core evidence.
- Cases like these are taken seriously. Elder-abuse and neglect claims are one of the few checks families have on bad operators — most are handled by specialist firms on contingency (no upfront cost to you).
How this form works — plainly
If you ask us to, we'll pass your note to a vetted elder-abuse attorney or attorney network covering your state, who pays us a flat advertising fee whether or not anything comes of it. That fee never touches any facility's score. We are not a law firm, this isn't legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship exists until you sign with someone. Your information goes only to the partner handling your state, and we delete it from our systems once routing is resolved (12 months at most).
