Report Nursing Home Abuse – You have several options

Nursing Home Abuse Reporting Options

Nursing home abuse is a serious crime that can quickly worsen and even turn deadly if not stopped. There are many avenues through which you can report nursing home abuse. These include local, state, and national agencies.

If your loved one is in immediate danger or having a medical emergency, dial 911 to report nursing home abuse.

Nursing home abuse can also be reported by:

Calling a nursing home abuse hotline
Connecting with a long-term care ombudsman
Contacting your state’s adult protective services (APS)
Working with doctors and other medical personnel

By reporting suspected abuse, you can open an investigation into an older person’s well-being. You may even be able to hold nursing facilities legally accountable if they harmed your loved one.
