Nursing Home & Hospital Neglect
Recognizing the Warning Signs
When care is withheld or mistakes are ignored, the details tell a larger story. We help families uncover those signs and take action.
Why Nursing Home & Hospital Neglect Matters
Medical professionals and facilities have protocols to follow when treating patients to ensure healing and patient health. When these protocols are not followed properly, it leads to patients receiving negligent care. Thousands of people die each year due to medical mistakes caused by negligent care and behavior. Hospital neglect can range from misdiagnosis to surgical mistakes. Hospitals and doctors are required to provide a reasonable standard of care and have a duty to uphold it.
The Small Signs That Point to Neglect
Missed meals. Unexplained injuries. Sudden changes in mood. In a nursing home, these details can mean daily needs are being ignored — from help with mobility and bathing to basic dignity and compassion. In a hospital, the signs may look different but carry the same weight: a delayed diagnosis, a medication mix-up, or a post-surgery complication that should have been prevented.
Each overlooked detail is a clue. Taken together, they reveal a pattern of neglect that no patient or family should ever have to accept.
