Our most vulnerable residents deserve safety and dignity. Knowing the warning signs protects them.
Signs of Abuse and Neglect
Unexplained injuries, bedsores, sudden weight loss, poor hygiene, and emotional withdrawal can all signal mistreatment. Trust your instincts if something seems wrong.
Colorado's Protections
State and federal law set standards for resident care. Facilities that fail those standards can be held liable for resulting harm.
What to Do
Document your concerns, report suspected abuse to the proper authorities, and consult an attorney. Acting quickly protects your loved one and preserves evidence.
Holding Facilities Accountable
Civil claims can recover damages and, just as importantly, push facilities to improve care for everyone.
