Bed sores are not something families should ignore. These wounds can develop when a resident is left in one position too long, not checked regularly, or not given the care they need.

If your loved one developed bed sores in a nursing home or assisted living facility, the Peck Law Group can help you understand what may have gone wrong.

Nursing homes are responsible for protecting residents—not just providing care.

When that protection fails, the impact can be devastating.

Attorney Insight:
“Facilities have a responsibility to protect residents from foreseeable harm.”

Accountability starts with recognizing that duty.

Although elder sexual battery can occur anywhere, it happens most often in nursing homes.

Attorney Insight:
“Wandering risks are well known and require active supervision and safeguards.”

Facilities are expected to prevent—not react after the fact.

One of the most challenging, life-threatening issues related to care of a person with cognitive loss is the occurrence of elopement, also known as wandering.

Falls in nursing homes are not always unavoidable.
Many happen when care plans aren’t followed or supervision is lacking.
Understanding what led to a fall often reveals whether it could have been prevented.

The elderly population is at risk for serious injuries in the event of a fall. What could be a simple slip without lasting injury to a younger person, could potentially land an elderly individual in the hospital with severe injuries.

Infections in assisted living facilities don’t just “happen.”

They are often tied to hygiene failures, lack of monitoring, or understaffing—issues that can be addressed.

Attorney Insight:
“Many infections we see in these cases are tied to breakdowns in basic care and supervision.”

Families deserve to know when something could have been prevented.

Infections are very common in nursing homes and are a major cause of disease and mortality among those elderly individuals living in these types of homes.

When a resident’s condition changes, time matters.

We often see cases where families raise concerns, but action is delayed. By the time a hospital gets involved, the situation has already progressed.

Attorney Insight:
“Delays in care are often where preventable harm turns into a serious medical event.”

Facilities are expected to respond quickly—not wait until it’s too late.

Assisted living facilities are trusted to provide supervision, safety, and daily care for elderly residents. When those responsibilities are not met, residents can suffer serious harm.

Many families begin asking questions after noticing unexplained injuries, infections, dehydration, or a sudden decline in a loved one’s health while living in assisted living.

“When we review assisted living abuse cases, we often find warning signs that were missed long before the injury occurred.”
— Adam Peck, Esq.

We recently updated our page discussing assisted living abuse in Los Angeles and what families should understand if concerns about neglect arise.

When a loved one is harmed in a nursing home, families deserve answers and accountability.

In many elder abuse and neglect cases, facilities rely on arbitration agreements signed during admission to change how a case proceeds. These agreements can significantly impact whether a case is heard in court or through private arbitration.

The Peck Law Group fights elder abuse and neglect in long-term care facilities. When arbitration becomes part of a case, we confront it while continuing to pursue responsibility for the harm caused.

You do not have to navigate this alone.

When a loved one enters a nursing home or assisted living facility, families are often overwhelmed. Admissions move fast. Paperwork is handed over in thick packets. Decisions are made while attention is focused on health, safety, and immediate care needs—not on legal fine print. Buried in that doc...

Peck Law Group at the 2026 Palm Springs International Film Festival.

Our team spent time at the festival speaking with attendees about elder abuse and neglect, resident rights, and concerns families often face when a loved one enters long-term care. The conversations reflected real questions that come up every day—often well before legal action is considered.

Watch the video for a brief look at our time at the festival and our continued focus on awareness, accountability, and elder protection.
