For many families, one of the hardest parts of navigating nursing home neglect and abuse is feeling like no one truly understands what they are experiencing.
They are overwhelmed, uncertain, and often carrying guilt while trying to advocate for someone they love. That is why this work is deeply personal to me.
Before becoming an attorney, I spent 13 years working inside nursing homes. I saw the realities families were often never told about like the impact of understaffing, the pressure placed on caregivers, the warning signs that were too often minimized, and the devastating consequences neglect can have on vulnerable residents.
Today, I use that experience not only to pursue accountability in court, but also to help families better understand the realities of nursing home care, recognize warning signs of neglect, and feel empowered to advocate for the people they love.
Too many families are left feeling powerless, uncertain, or afraid that they are “imagining things” when something does not feel right. My goal is to provide both the legal guidance and the educational support families need to feel informed, supported, and confident asking difficult questions when resident safety is at stake.
If you are worried about the care a loved one is receiving in a nursing home, trust yourself enough to ask questions. Advocacy often begins with recognizing that your concerns deserve to be taken seriously.
