Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect

Louisville Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect Lawyers

Choosing a nursing home or long-term care facility for a loved one is an act of trust. Families expect their loved ones to receive skilled medical attention, compassionate support, and safe living conditions.

Sadly, that trust is too often broken. Abuse or neglect in nursing homes can cause devastating harm, physically, emotionally, and financially. At Moore Law Group, we know how painful it is to discover that a vulnerable family member has been mistreated, and we are here to fight for justice on their behalf.

How Moore Law Group Helps Families with Civil Claims

Elderly and disabled residents are among the most vulnerable members of our community. When they suffer abuse or neglect, the impact can be catastrophic. Beyond immediate injuries or illness, victims may endure long-term pain, psychological trauma, and loss of dignity.

For families, the betrayal of trust often brings guilt, anger, and grief. These cases are especially serious because victims frequently cannot speak up for themselves, making family advocacy and legal action critical.

Our attorneys are deeply committed to protecting Kentucky’s seniors. We thoroughly investigate nursing home claims, working with medical experts, elder care specialists, and investigators to uncover the truth.

We hold negligent facilities and staff accountable by:

Reviewing medical and facility records
Interviewing witnesses and staff
Consulting with elder care and medical professionals
Building a strong case for compensation and accountability

Types of Abuse & Neglect

Nursing home mistreatment can take many forms, including:

Physical abuse – hitting, pushing, rough handling, or unnecessary restraints
Emotional abuse – verbal insults, threats, humiliation, or social isolation
Sexual abuse – unwanted or inappropriate sexual contact
Neglect – failure to provide food, water, medication, hygiene, or medical care
Financial exploitation – theft, fraud, or coercion to change financial documents

Warning Signs to Watch For

Family members should be alert to changes that may indicate abuse or neglect, such as:

Unexplained bruises, cuts, or broken bones
Bedsores or frequent infections
Sudden weight loss, dehydration, or malnutrition
Poor hygiene or soiled clothing and bedding
Emotional withdrawal, fearfulness, or depression
Unexplained financial transactions or missing belongings

What to Do if You Suspect Abuse or Neglect

If you believe your loved one may be the victim of mistreatment in a nursing home or assisted living facility, act quickly:

Ensure immediate safety – Remove your loved one from danger if necessary and seek medical care for any injuries.
Document concerns – Take photographs of injuries, unsafe conditions, or poor hygiene. Keep records of conversations with staff and administrators.
Report suspicions – File a complaint with Kentucky’s Adult Protective Services or the state’s Office of the Inspector General, which oversees nursing homes.
Seek legal counsel – Contact Moore Law Group. Time is critical to secure records, investigate conditions, and protect your loved one’s rights.
