California Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer
Nursing Home Neglect Attorneys
When deciding on a nursing home for a loved one, you are entitled to—and should—ask the nursing home staff questions regarding the facility and its policies. It is your right to know how your loved one will be treated.
At Berg Injury Lawyers, we know how difficult a decision like this is, but we also know it is even more difficult to find out that your loved one has been a victim of abuse by the facility you trusted to take care of him. If you suspect your family member has become the victim of California nursing home abuse, give us a call at (800) 400-BERG. We’ll start investigating your claim immediately.

Know What to Look For
You aren’t with your loved one 24 hours a day when he is a resident of a nursing home—you can’t be. That can make determining if he’s been a victim of California nursing home abuse difficult. Below are some common physical signs to look for that may indicate neglect or abuse.
- abnormally pale complexion
- bruises in a pattern that would suggest restraints
- excessive and sudden weight loss
- fleas, lice, or dirt on resident or in resident’s room
- poor personal hygiene or other unattended health problems
- torn clothing or broken personal items
- unpleasant odors
- untreated bedsores, wounds, cuts, bruises, or welts
Other signs to watch out for that indicate improper care, include:
- caregiver allowing resident to wander off the premises
- caregiver's inability to explain resident’s condition
- caregiver's refusal to allow visitors to see resident alone
- lack of proper heating or cooling in nursing home
- sudden change in resident’s medication
