Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 111, Section 72G requires certain professionals who are paid to care for residents of long-term care facilities, and patients receiving home health, homemaker, or hospice services, to report suspected abuse, mistreatment, neglect, or misappropriation of property to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health immediately. When a nursing home or care facility fails to report suspected abuse, that failure can allow harm to continue, and it may become key evidence in a negligence claim.
