Protecting Arizona’s Seniors from Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect
When families place a loved one in a nursing home or assisted living facility, they trust that staff will provide safe, respectful, and compassionate care. Unfortunately, some facilities fail to meet this standard, and residents become victims of nursing home abuse or neglect.
At Rideout Law Group, we fight to protect Arizona’s most vulnerable citizens. With offices in Scottsdale and Lake Havasu City, our attorneys provide aggressive advocacy for families seeking justice against negligent or abusive care facilities.
What is Nursing Home Abuse?
Nursing home abuse occurs when staff members, caretakers, or administrators cause intentional harm to residents. This can include:
- Physical abuse – hitting, restraining, or using unnecessary force
- Emotional abuse – verbal threats, humiliation, or isolation
- Sexual abuse – unwanted or inappropriate sexual contact
- Financial exploitation – theft, fraud, or coercion involving a resident’s money or property
What is Nursing Home Neglect?
Nursing home neglect often happens when staff fail to provide proper care. It may not always be intentional, but it can be just as dangerous. Examples include:
- Failure to provide adequate food, water, or hygiene
- Bedsores or untreated medical conditions
- Unsafe living conditions (slips, falls, lack of supervision)
- Medication errors or missed treatments
Warning Signs of Abuse or Neglect
Families should remain alert for red flags, including:
- Unexplained injuries or frequent hospital visits
- Sudden weight loss or dehydration
- Poor hygiene or soiled clothing
- Withdrawal, fearfulness, or sudden behavioral changes
- Staff refusing or delaying visits
If you suspect abuse, act quickly. Reporting concerns and seeking legal guidance can help protect your loved one and prevent further harm.
