No family should have to worry about their loved one being abused in the very place meant to protect them. Sadly, nursing home abuse and neglect in Cincinnati occur far too often — and most victims are unable to defend themselves because of age, illness, or disability.
At Nancy Iler Law Firm, we are passionate about protecting vulnerable residents and holding negligent facilities accountable. As an experienced Cincinnati nursing home abuse attorney, Nancy Iler works tirelessly to expose neglect, stop ongoing abuse, and fight for full compensation for residents and their families.
Holding Nursing Homes Accountable
Many nursing homes in Cincinnati and throughout Ohio are part of large corporate chains. When abuse happens, these companies often act quickly to limit their liability — not to protect the residents. Our firm levels the playing field.
With more than 30 years of experience, we have the resources and determination to take on corporate nursing homes, demand accountability, and pursue maximum damages for the harm they cause.
Common Types of Nursing Home Abuse
Nursing home abuse takes many forms, including:
- Assisted living care
- Escape, elopement, and wandering
- Falls and unexplained fractures
- Malnutrition and dehydration
- Bedsores and pressure ulcers
- Physical abuse and assault
- Choking and strangulation
- Infection or bleeding
All of these acts are illegal under Ohio and federal law — and families have the right to take action.
Warning Signs Families Should Watch For
Be alert for physical and behavioral changes that could signal abuse or neglect, such as:
-
Bedsores, infections, or untreated wounds
-
Weight loss, dehydration, or poor hygiene
-
Sudden emotional withdrawal or fearfulness
-
Missing personal items or money
-
Staff who avoid questions or seem nervous when you visit
Trust your instincts — if something feels wrong, it probably is.
