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.
