Evidence
Doesn't Last Forever.

In nursing home, assisted living facility, group home, and adult day care center abuse, neglect, and wrongful death cases, time is critical, not just because of legal deadlines (known as Statutes of Limitation), but because vital evidence can disappear. Facilities may lose or erase surveillance footage, staff with critical first-hand knowledge may leave or become unreachable, and records can be “lost” or altered. Acting quickly helps preserve the proof needed to hold nursing homes, assisted living facilities, group home, and adult day care centers accountable.

Nursing Homes Fail to Report Nearly Half of Serious Falls: OIG Confirms Ongoing Pattern of Underreporting

A new federal report confirms that nearly half of serious nursing home falls go unreported, creating a misleading picture of safety. For-profit, chain-owned, and large facilities were the worst offenders, and residents at highest risk included younger adults with disabilities, short-stay residents, and Medicare-only patients. Preventable falls are often tied to poor staffing, lack of monitoring, and failure to follow care plans.
