## We Focus On Nursing Home & Facility Elder Abuse Cases

Here's what we typically handle:

Nursing home abuse & neglect (staff abuse, unsafe conditions, preventable injuries)

Assisted living abuse & neglect

Skilled nursing facility (SNF) & rehab facility neglect

Abuse by facility staff or contracted caregivers

Understaffing, poor supervision, improper care plans

Cases we may not be able to take: situations involving a family member caring for another family member at home often involve limited civil liability and can turn into family disputes rather than facility negligence cases. If you're unsure, contact us. We'll listen and help you understand your options and next steps.

## Filing A Claim For Elder Abuse & Neglect

In Nevada, you typically must file a lawsuit within two years from the date of injury or date the injury should have been discovered. This can be challenging because abuse can be hard to detect.

We understand the challenges that come with filing an elder abuse lawsuit, and are here to answer any questions and guide you through the process.

## What To Do If You Suspect Elder Abuse or Neglect

Taking the right steps early can protect your loved one and preserve evidence:

###
Call 911 If There Is Immediate Danger

Responders will secure the area, control the situation, and prepare an official report, ensuring proper documentation for any necessary follow-up.

###
Seek Medical Attention

A prompt exam can uncover unseen injuries and create important documentation for your claim

###
Document & Save All Evidence

Take photos or video of injuries, room conditions, bedsores, restraints, and any hazards. Write down dates, times, names, and what was said. Store reports, important items, and any records securely so nothing useful to your case is lost or misplaced.

###
Request Records

Ask for care plans, incident reports, medication administration records, staffing logs, and facility communications.

###
Report the Abuse

If the incident occurred in public, notify nearby people, business owners, or file an incident report. Additionally, call (702) 486-6930 in Las Vegas / Clark County, or (888) 729-0571 from anywhere in the state of Nevada to report it to the Nevada Adult Protective Services.

###
Follow Your Doctor's Instructions

Attend all follow-up appointments, complete recommended treatments, and participate in any necessary therapies.

###
Keep a Journal

Record detailed notes about how the accident occurred and track symptoms, treatments, and recollections related to your recovery process.

###
Limit Social Media

Refrain from posting about your incident. Anything posted online could impact your claim.

###
Contact a Lawyer

Do not wait to get the legal advice you need. We can start investigating the accident, preserving evidence, and protecting you from day one.

## How To Report Elder Abuse & Neglect

Whether or not you know someone who has experienced elder abuse, if you suspect neglect or abuse in a nursing home, you should file a complaint with the [Nevada Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance](https://www.hcqc.nv.gov/regulatory/health-facility-licensing-and-information/health-facilities-complaints/).

Filing a [complaint online](https://www.hcqc.nv.gov/regulatory/health-facility-licensing-and-information/health-facilities-complaints/)

Calling the complaint hotline at (702) 668-3250

![elderly person looking out the window](https://samandashlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/AdobeStock_315682192-1.jpeg)

![person filling out a paper form](https://samandashlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/AdobeStock_1199731589.jpeg)

## Should I File A Complaint Anywhere Else?

The [Nevada Aging and Disability Services Division](https://adsd.nv.gov/Programs/Seniors/EPS/EPS_Prog/) also takes reports of vulnerable adult abuse through its Adult Protective Services program. This program covers everyone 60 years and older along with other vulnerable people who are over the age of 18. To report suspected abuse, neglect, or other elder care issues:

Call [(702) 486-6930](tel:7024866930) in Las Vegas/Clark County

Call [(888) 729-0571](tel:8887290571) from anywhere in the state of Nevada

Nursing home regulations in Nevada exist to protect vulnerable adults. If you suspect abuse, report it and get in touch with an elder abuse lawyer in Nevada. At Sam & Ash Injury Law, our compassionate advocates can answer your questions about bringing an elder abuse claim and explain what to expect next.

## Answering Your Questions

###
What are some warning signs of elder abuse or neglect in nursing homes?

Lack of medical care

Bedsores, untreated wounds, or frequent infections

Unexplained bruises, fractures, or repeated falls

Sudden weight loss, dehydration, or malnutrition

Poor hygiene, soiled clothing or bedding, strong odors

Medication errors, over-sedation, or missed doses

Withdrawal, fear, depression, confusion, or anxiety around staff

Isolation from family or restricted visitation/communication

Unexplained bank activity or missing valuables

###
Are there age requirements for elder abuse?

In Nevada elder law, the mistreatment of someone 60 years or older is considered elder abuse. While it is unacceptable to cause anyone harm, there are special rules that apply when the elderly are victimized by those entrusted with their care.

###
Can I sue a nursing home for bedsores in Nevada?

Bedsores can be a sign of neglect, especially when they are severe or left untreated. A Nevada nursing home abuse lawyer can review medical records, care plans, and facility documentation to determine whether the harm was preventable.

###
What makes a strong nursing home neglect case?

Strong claims often include documentation showing preventable harm tied to facility failures, for example:

Untreated pressure sores, sepsis, or repeated infections

Dehydration, malnutrition, or rapid decline without proper intervention

Falls with inadequate supervision, unsafe transfers, or missing fall precautions

Medication errors or lack of monitoring

Evidence of physical or sexual abuse

###
How do I know if I have an elder abuse claim?

Elder abuse claims can be challenging to navigate. We can review your case and help you understand your family's rights and legal options. While not every injury, bedsore, or other sign is a guaranteed indicator of abuse, it is vital to stay vigilant and contact an attorney right away if you suspect abuse. A nursing home neglect attorney can help determine whether the facility's failures contributed to your loved one's injuries.

###
Who can be held responsible?

Liability in facility cases may involve:

The nursing home, assisted living, rehab, or skilled nursing facility

Facility owners or management companies

Staff members or contracted caregivers

Third-party vendors providing care or services

###
What if the suspected abuser is a family member?

These situations can be complicated, and civil liability may be limited when a family member is providing unpaid care at home. If your situation involves a facility, a paid caregiver, or clear evidence of exploitation or criminal conduct, contact us; we'll explain options and next steps.

###
Will my abuser know I am seeking help?

When you talk with us, your discussions are completely confidential. We will determine the right course of action to put an immediate stop to the abuse. We are fully committed to doing everything in our power to protect you and hold the at-fault party accountable.

###
Do you handle assisted living abuse cases in Las Vegas?

Yes. We evaluate abuse and neglect claims involving assisted living, nursing home, and other licensed care facilities in Las Vegas and across Nevada.
