Nursing Home Abuse

Nursing Home Abuse in Ohio

Advocacy Groups and Government Agencies for Nursing Home Abuse/Neglect Victims

Nursing Home Abuse is a real issue in Ohio and the United States. Due to this unwelcome fact, many Americans are reluctant to put their loved ones in a nursing home or assisted living facility because they fear for their safety and well-being. Nursing homes are expected by law to provide safe and quality care to all residents, whether they are short-term or long-term, and there are laws in effect to protect nursing home and assisted care residents. 

Elder abuse comes in a variety of forms, including physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, abandonment, financial exploitation, and healthcare fraud and abuse.

If you learn or even suspect that your loved one is experiencing any form of abuse or neglect, you must seek help immediately. After reporting to the head manager of the facility, you should contact your county’s advocacy group listed below. 

Once you’ve reached out to an advocacy group, contact the Cincinnati nursing home abuse and neglect lawyers at Robert A. Klingler Co., L.P.A. to learn how we can help protect and find justice for your parent or loved one.
