If the situation involves a medical emergency or violent crime, call 911.
Call a lawyer to investigate before the nursing home administration can cover up the incident. Your lawyer can file a formal complaint with your state’s official regulatory body, often called the State Survey Agency. The Eldercare Locator, a public service of the U.S. Administration on Aging, can help you find the correct agency for your state.
Then report the incident to the nursing home’s administration.
