FAQ

We noticed bedsores and medication errors during a holiday visit — what should we document before we leave the nursing home?

Nursing home neglect often becomes most visible during holiday visits. Before you leave:

  • Photograph all visible injuries, including bedsores, bruises, weight loss, and unsanitary conditions.
  • Write down names of staff on duty and anyone who provided explanations.
  • Request the resident’s chart or at least the medication administration record (MAR) — even if the facility refuses, your request creates a paper trail.
  • Note dates, times, and conversations in a simple log.

Then call us immediately. We handle elder-neglect cases with the same family-focused approach that defines our firm , and we take over the investigation so you don’t have to confront the facility alone.
