When you entrust a nursing home with the care of your aging loved one, you expect attentive, respectful, and safe treatment. But when neglect replaces proper care, the consequences can be devastating—both physically and emotionally. At Protect Seniors Law Firm, we are devoted to standing up for the elderly who have been harmed by negligent care facilities.

Our mission is simple: protect seniors, demand accountability, and ensure that families are never left to fight alone.

What Is Nursing Home Neglect?

Nursing home neglect occurs when a facility fails to provide the basic necessities of care and supervision that a resident requires to stay healthy and safe. Unlike abuse, which involves intentional harm, neglect is often passive—yet just as harmful.

Examples of neglect include:

• Failing to assist with hygiene or bathing
• Ignoring medical needs or medication schedules
• Not responding to call buttons or cries for help
• Leaving residents unattended in dangerous situations
• Inadequate food, hydration, or temperature control
• Lack of regular repositioning to prevent bedsores

Neglect can be a sign of deeper systemic problems within the facility, such as understaffing or poor training.

Signs of Nursing Home Neglect

Neglect is often subtle and gradual, but there are key warning signs families should watch for:

• Unexplained weight loss or dehydration
• Poor hygiene or soiled clothing
• Untreated bedsores (pressure ulcers)
• Frequent infections or untreated illnesses
• Depression or withdrawal from social interaction
• A noticeable decline in physical or mental condition
• Unsafe or unsanitary living conditions

If your loved one is experiencing any of these, it may be time to take action.

Why Neglect Happens

Neglect is often a result of:

• Understaffing: Too few staff members to provide adequate care.
• Lack of Training: Staff may not be properly trained in medical procedures or patient rights.
• Inadequate Supervision: Management may overlook clear signs of declining care standards.
• Corporate Greed: Cost-cutting measures can compromise quality of care.
• High Staff Turnover: Inexperienced or overwhelmed caregivers may not follow protocols.

Regardless of the cause, neglect is a violation of both legal and ethical responsibilities—and victims deserve justice.

Legal Options for Victims and Families

At Protect Seniors Law Firm, we pursue civil legal claims on behalf of neglected nursing home residents and their families. Through these cases, we seek to:

• Compensate victims for their physical and emotional suffering
• Recover costs of medical care and relocation
• Force facilities to improve their standards of care
• Hold corporations accountable for systemic failures

We work closely with medical experts, elder care professionals, and state investigators to build a strong case that proves the neglect occurred and caused harm.
