Abuse Isn’t Always Obvious—But It’s Always Serious

We Help Families Spot the Signs & Take Action

Nursing home abuse comes in many forms—neglect, physical harm, emotional mistreatment, and more. It may show up as:

  • Bedsores or unexplained bruising
  • Sudden weight loss or dehydration
  • Poor hygiene or unsafe conditions
  • Overmedication or untreated illness
  • Withdrawn behavior or fear of staff
  • Unexplained injuries or repeated falls

If something feels wrong, trust your instincts. We’ll help you investigate, document the issue, and hold the facility accountable.

What You Need to Know About Elder Abuse Claims

  • Can I file a claim if my loved one was hurt in a facility?

    Yes. If the injury resulted from neglect, abuse, or unsafe conditions, you may have a valid legal claim—even if the harm wasn’t intentional.


  • Is it still abuse if the staff meant well but were understaffed?

    Yes. Facilities are legally responsible for providing adequate care, regardless of staffing issues. Understaffing is one of the most common root causes of harm.

  • What damages can we recover?

    You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, pain & suffering, emotional distress, and in severe cases, punitive damages.

  • Do we need to move our loved one first?

    If the resident is in danger, yes—protecting their safety comes first. We can help coordinate steps to report the abuse and assist with a safe transfer.

  • Is there a deadline to file a claim?

    Yes. Illinois generally allows 2 years to file, but some elder abuse claims involve shorter timeframes. Early action helps protect your options.
