Frequently Asked Questions
What are warning signs of nursing home neglect?
Unexplained bruising, rapid weight loss, repeated falls, odor or soiling, and sudden behavior changes can be red flags.
Can I still sue if the resident had dementia?
Yes—facilities owe a duty of care regardless; capacity affects testimony but not the duty to prevent foreseeable harm.
