Justice For Seniors Who Are Mistreated Or Neglected In Nursing Home Facilities In Northern California

Loved ones are mistreated by nursing home caregivers more often than people think. In fact, over 2 million cases of elder abuse or neglect are reported every year — and that number is likely to rise given our aging baby boomer population.

  • Physical abuse

Signs Of Elder Abuse Or Neglect: What To Look Out For

  • Suspicious changes in finances or control over a loved one’s finances
  • Distinctive changes in physical appearance or lack of personal care
  • Unusual changes in emotional behavior
  • Unexplained bruises or bedsores
