Q: What can I do if a nursing home is neglecting a family relative?
Question Detail: Is nursing home neglect considered as personal injury? What can I do if a loved one has been a victim of such?
Answer: There are lawyers who specialize in nursing home cases and who have a clearer understanding of nursing home regulations and care requirements for the elderly. First you should report the facility to the Iowa regulators who inspect those facilities. That would be the State of Iowa - Department Of Inspection & Appeals. You can even search for facilities by following this link.
