Families trust nursing homes and assisted living facilities to provide safe, dignified care for their loved ones. When understaffing, poor training, and cost-cutting lead to neglect or abuse, the evidence shows up as unexplained injuries, bedsores, dehydration, malnutrition, sudden weight loss, medication errors, emotional withdrawal, and more.

These cases are personal. Behind every claim stands a family that trusted an institution to protect someone they love, and that institution failed. Arizona’s Adult Protective Services Act gives vulnerable adults meaningful legal protections and allows families to pursue claims against facilities that cause harm through negligence, abuse, or exploitation.

Litster Dugwyler pursues nursing home and elder abuse claims aggressively. We investigate staffing records, incident reports, state inspection histories, and internal complaint logs to build a clear picture of what went wrong and who bears responsibility. Our goal goes beyond compensation for our clients. We fight to force the systemic changes that protect other residents from the same failures.

If you suspect a loved one has suffered neglect or abuse in a nursing home or assisted living facility, contact us right away. Early investigation and evidence preservation are critical in these cases.
