To file a complaint against a nursing home, you will need to file through the appropriate authorities in your state. Starting a lawsuit or claim against a nursing home should also begin with a complaint.
Generally, the process looks something like this:
File a complaint with the appropriate authorities.
Inform the nursing home of the allegations.
File a claim in the court system against the nursing home or staff in question.
Meet with the nursing home to discuss potential compromises.
Move on to court-mandated hearings and trials as necessary.
Reach a resolution through the court or through a settlement.
