For-profit nursing homes are one of the most profitable industries in America. Unfortunately, too often this is a result of these homes putting your money directly into their pockets, rather than putting your money into quality of care.
This has never been more obvious than during the coronavirus crisis — our front pages have been flooded with news of clear violations from coast to coast. They have been exposed.
Sadly, some of the worst actors in the country include some local nursing homes in our home state. While Covid-19 has endangered all of our elderly citizens, these nursing homes have lost an unprecedented number of patients in this crisis, and someone needs to hold them accountable for their actions (you can visit our dedicated Nursing Homes & Covid-19 page to learn more about our response).
We are not afraid of their deep pockets, we have won substantial recoveries and verdicts against them before. We are already in the process of building cases for clients who have been harmed by some of the worst facilities in the country who have lost an unprecedented number of patients in this crisis.

How Common Is Nursing Home Abuse?
Sadly, nursing home abuse is much more common than most people realize:
- According to the National Center on Elder Abuse in the United States, nearly one-third of all nursing homes in the United States are guilty of abusing their residents in some form
- Two out of three elder abuse victims are women
- Over 50% of nursing home staff have confidentially admitted to committing some form of abuse
- Neglect is the failure to provide an elder’s basic life necessities, such as food, housing, medicine or hygiene and is usually more common than abuse in nursing homes
There are many forms of mistreatment that qualify as Abuse or Neglect, and there are many instances of abuse and neglect in nursing homes go unreported. Sometimes, this is because nursing home residents do not want to be a bother or do not want to trouble or worry about their family members or friends.
At other times, nursing home residents do not have the mental or emotional capacity to realize they are being abused, and therefore cannot report it. Sometimes they may not have the physical ability to report their abuse. Others may be afraid that if they say something, they could be subjected to retaliation, and the abuse could get even worse.
