Whether the abuser is a family member or a paid provider, it’s equally horrifying. So how do you know? Below you’ll find a partial checklist of things to look for based on a comprehensive article on nursing home abuse written by Levin & Perconti law firm, in Chicago, Illinois. [312-332-2872 – https://www.levinperconti.com]. Here’s a link to the article: https://www.levinperconti.com/nursing-home-abuse/.
