About Nursing Home & Elder Abuse
When you place a parent or loved one in a nursing home, you trust they will be treated with dignity and kept safe, and when that trust is broken it is painful. Unexplained injuries, weight loss, poor hygiene, or troubling changes in mood are all reasons to ask questions. California's Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act (Welf. & Inst. Code §15600 et seq.) provides heightened protections for elders and dependent adults harmed in a care setting. Families may be able to seek compensation for medical costs, care expenses, and a loved one's suffering, and you can connect with a California attorney to understand your options.
