Most of the time, the deadline for filing a legal complaint against an abusive or neglectful nursing home is two years. Known simply as the statute of limitations, the deadline might seem like a long time, but the longer you wait to report suspicious circumstances, the more difficult it will be to find valuable evidence in your case.
What’s also very concerning is that if you decide to wait to report it or pursue legal action, the abuse or neglect will likely continue—putting your loved one and other nursing home residents at risk. Don’t let this happen. Report the abuse to the state and the proper authorities. Then take control of your loved one’s situation by calling us. You can count on us to advocate for their rights and their safety.
