Arizona Nursing Home Abuse
We place our beloved elders in nursing homes to ensure that they have a safe and social environment to spend their golden years. But, all too often they are abused by unscrupulous staff members who take advantage of their vulnerability, sometimes for personal financial gain.
Elder abuse can be difficult to spot—in fact, most cases go unreported—and difficult to remedy without the help of an attorney. At Morgan & Morgan, we know the love and respect that our elders deserve and will treat you and your loved ones like our family.

Defining Nursing Home Abuse
If you or someone you love are the victim of nursing home abuse, it can be difficult to identify and frightening to report. In fact, in the United States, although one in 10 elders face some sort of abuse, only one in 14 of these cases is ever reported to the authorities. It is, furthermore, estimated that as many as five million elders are abused each year. If you or a loved one have been the victim of elder abuse, don’t stay silent—we can help.
Although elder abuse can take many forms, here are some of the most common examples that Morgan & Morgan attorneys take on inside and outside of the courtroom:
- Physical Abuse: when elders suffer serious physical injuries, such as broken bones or bruises
- Sexual Abuse: any unwanted sexual contact or activity
- Emotional Abuse: includes verbal assault or any form of threat or intimidation
- Neglect: when a caregiver fails—either purposefully or carelessly—to meet an elder’s basic needs, including providing food, medication, and administering baths
- Financial Exploitation: when a caregiver uses their position by manipulating an elder’s finances for their own personal gain
Nursing home abuse is not always obvious. It’s important to be attentive to our elders and to be on the lookout for:
- Physical signs of abuse, such as unexplained bruises and broken bones
- Tense relationships with nursing home staff
- Sudden changes in behavior
- Poor hygiene
- Weight loss
- Changes in finances
