Nursing Home Neglect

Unlike abuse, which involves active harm, nursing home neglect happens when a facility fails to provide the basic care and attention residents need to stay healthy and safe. At J Davis Law, we represent families whose loved ones have suffered due to inadequate staffing, poor training, or lack of proper oversight in long-term care facilities.

No one should suffer because a facility failed to meet its basic responsibilities.

What Is Nursing Home Neglect?

Nursing home neglect is a form of medical negligence that occurs when a facility fails to:

  • Provide adequate food, water, or hygiene
  • Monitor and treat medical conditions
  • Prevent falls, pressure sores, or infections
  • Ensure clean, safe living conditions
  • Respond in a timely manner to resident needs

Neglect can be chronic and systemic, often tied to cost-cutting, poor staffing levels, or lack of training.

Signs of Neglect

  • Bedsores or open wounds
  • Dehydration or malnutrition
  • Soiled bedding or clothing
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Missed medications or untreated illness
  • Repeated falls or injuries

Many victims cannot speak up for themselves—your advocacy matters.

Your Legal Advocate

At J Davis Law, we work with:

  • Medical experts to assess the standard of care
  • Elder care professionals to document facility violations
  • Investigators to uncover poor staffing, training, or management

We pursue compensation for medical costs, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and more.
