Our most vulnerable family members deserve safety and dignity. When a facility fails them through abuse or neglect, we step in and demand answers, across Northern Virginia.

When a family places a loved one in a nursing home, they trust the facility to provide safety, care, and dignity. Residents have legal rights, and facilities have clear duties. When abuse or neglect breaks that trust, the law gives families a way to demand answers and accountability.
Placing a parent or grandparent in a care facility is a hard decision, made on the promise that they will be safe, clean, fed, and treated with dignity. When that promise is broken, the betrayal cuts deep.
Abuse and neglect take many forms: untreated bedsores, malnutrition and dehydration, unexplained injuries, falls from inadequate supervision, medication errors, and physical or emotional mistreatment. Signs are often subtle, and facilities are not always forthcoming.
We investigate what happened, gather the records and evidence, work with the appropriate authorities, and hold the facility accountable for the harm it caused to someone who deserved far better. Suspected abuse can also be reported to Adult Protective Services.

“Nursing home cases are personal in a way few others are, because the victim is often someone who cannot fully advocate for themselves, and the family is wracked with guilt for not seeing it sooner. They should not be. Facilities are responsible for the care they promised, and the warning signs, the bedsore that should never have formed, the weight loss, the unexplained bruise, point to neglect that the facility knew about and let continue. I investigate thoroughly, work with the proper authorities, and make the facility answer for failing someone who deserved dignity.”
