How We’ve Helped Families Get Justice
Common Types of Nursing Home Abuse We Fight Against in Philadelphia
Not all forms of elder abuse are visible right away. If you suspect neglect or mistreatment in a nursing home or group home, we’ll launch a full investigation, gather evidence, and take legal action against every responsible party.
Here are some of the most common types of nursing home abuse we see in Philadelphia:
- Physical abuse
- Emotional and psychological abuse
- Sexual abuse
- Financial exploitation
- Medical neglect (bedsores, dehydration, medication errors)
- Poor hygiene and sanitation
- Resident-on-resident abuse
- Use of physical or chemical restraints
Is It Abuse or Neglect? Understanding the Legal and Emotional Impact
Abuse and neglect are different under the law, but both are a betrayal of the trust you placed in a care facility. Whether your loved one has been subjected to neglect or outright cruelty, we’ll hold them accountable and fight to the fullest extent of the law:
Abuse may include:
- Hitting, slapping, or the use of excessive force
- Verbal threats, humiliation, or isolation
- Sexual assault or unwanted touching
- Intimidation or retaliation for speaking up
- Theft, coercion, or manipulation for financial gain
Neglect may include:
- Ignoring calls for help or basic needs
- Failing to provide enough food or water
- Not repositioning immobile residents, leading to bedsores
- Letting medications lapse or administering the wrong doses
- Allowing unsafe conditions like dirty bedding or fall hazards

You Have Questions, We’ve Helped Clients Like You Find Answers
You typically have two years from the date of injury to file a claim. In many cases, abuse isn’t discovered right away, so this timeline may not begin until you become aware of the harm.
Yes. We routinely bring claims against both institutions and their employees, especially in cases involving understaffing, inadequate training, or criminal conduct.
Many of our clients face this situation. We build strong cases using documentation, third-party accounts, care facility records, and medical analysis without the need for direct testimony.
You may still be within the statute of limitations. Don’t assume your case is closed; let our nursing home abuse lawyers assess the timeline and explain your options.
