Nursing Home Abuse

Placing a loved one in a nursing home is one of the most difficult decisions a family can make. You trust the facility to provide proper care, safety, and dignity. But when that trust is broken, and your loved one suffers abuse or neglect, the emotional toll can be overwhelming. At Farzan Law, we stand up for vulnerable seniors and their families. We fight to hold nursing homes accountable for the harm they cause.

If you suspect that a loved one has been abused or neglected in a nursing home in Los Angeles or anywhere in California, Farzan Law is ready to help. Attorney Alex Farzan takes these cases personally and works closely with families to make sure justice is served.

How Nursing Home Abuse Happens

Nursing home abuse can take many forms. Some residents are physically harmed by staff or other residents. Others are emotionally mistreated, ignored, or left isolated. Some are victims of financial exploitation or sexual abuse. Many suffer due to neglect—when staff fails to provide food, water, medication, or basic hygiene.

These facilities are often understaffed or poorly supervised. In some cases, workers are not properly trained or are hired without background checks. Management may cut corners to save money, putting your loved one at risk. Abuse and neglect are never acceptable, and if you notice the signs, it is important to take action right away.

Signs and Effects of Nursing Home Abuse

Elder abuse is not always easy to spot. Warning signs can include unexplained bruises, cuts, or fractures. You may notice weight loss, dehydration, bedsores, or sudden changes in behavior. Your loved one might seem withdrawn, fearful, or confused. In some cases, staff may be unwilling to leave you alone with the resident or may give vague explanations about injuries or changes in health.

These signs should never be ignored. Abuse can lead to serious physical and emotional harm, and in many cases, it becomes worse over time. At Farzan Law, we help families recognize the signs, report abuse, and take legal action to protect their loved ones.

Who Can Be Held Responsible

When abuse or neglect occurs in a care facility, the nursing home itself can often be held responsible. Liability may also fall on individual staff members, supervisors, medical providers, or third-party contractors. In some cases, the company that owns or manages the facility may have a pattern of cutting costs or ignoring complaints.

At Farzan Law, we conduct a full investigation. We review records, interview witnesses, examine the facility’s history, and work with experts to uncover the truth. Our goal is to hold everyone involved accountable and to make sure it does not happen to another family.

What You Can Recover

If your loved one has been harmed in a nursing home, you may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, therapy, relocation costs, and more. You may also be entitled to money for pain, emotional suffering, and loss of dignity. In cases involving severe neglect or intentional abuse, courts may award additional damages as a way to punish those responsible.

At Farzan Law, we work to secure justice for your family and financial support for the recovery process. We take the time to understand what your loved one has endured and fight to make sure your claim reflects the full scope of the harm.
