Michigan city scape in grey
Marko Law Firm

What should I do if I witness abuse at a nursing home?

First, trust your instincts. If something feels wrong, it probably is.

Here are immediate steps to consider:

  • Ensure the resident is safe
  • Document what you saw, including dates and details
  • Report it to the facility and appropriate authorities
  • Consider contacting an attorney if retaliation or harm follows

In Michigan, certain individuals are mandatory reporters. Speaking up can protect someone who cannot protect themselves.

You are not overreacting. You are potentially saving a life.
