About Our Network

National Elder Abuse & Nursing Home Negligence Legal Network

Elder abuse affects an estimated 1 in 10 Americans over age 60. It takes many forms: physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, financial exploitation, and neglect. Nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and even family caregivers can be perpetrators.

The signs of elder abuse are not always obvious. Unexplained bruises, sudden weight loss, bedsores, changes in behavior, missing money or property, and reluctance to speak in front of caregivers can all be warning signs that demand investigation.

Federal and state laws protect elderly individuals from abuse and neglect. The Nursing Home Reform Act establishes minimum standards of care, and state elder abuse laws provide both criminal penalties and civil remedies. Our network attorneys help families navigate these protections.
