If you witness an elder or another vulnerable adult being neglected or abused, if it is an emergency, dial 911 for law enforcement. If you witness or see signs of abuse, neglect, poor care, not enough staff, unsafe or unsanitary conditions, dietary problems, or mistreatment you should file a complaint immediately. You can also file a complaint about the care a resident is receiving in an Alabama nursing home by contacting the Alabama Department of Public Health. More
