In emergencies, you should call the police.
In a non-emergency, Nashville nursing home abuse can be reported to Tennessee Adult Protective Services. A report can also be filed with the Tennessee Long-Term Care Ombudsman, which deals specifically with assisting seniors living in nursing homes and assisted care facilities.
For help with reporting, medical care, and financial concerns, families can use the Eldercare Locator. This public service can connect you with resources in the Nashville area.
Once abuse has been reported, you should contact a Nashville nursing home abuse attorney to begin taking legal action against the nursing home.
