Placing a loved one in a nursing home is a tough decision, built on trust. You expect competent care and safety. Yet, injuries happen far too frequently in these facilities, and frankly, many aren’t simple “accidents.”
Often, injuries stem from negligence, understaffing, or outright abuse. If you suspect something is wrong with the care your family member is receiving in an Indiana nursing home, you’re right to question it. There are steps you can take to protect them and explore accountability.

Feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to turn? TopDog Law connects people like you with experienced Indiana nursing home injuries attorneys. Call us now, and we can help you find a lawyer in your area who can look into your situation.
You did the research, toured the facility, met the staff. You chose a place you believed would provide the care your loved one needs and deserves. Now, an injury, or a pattern of issues, makes you second-guess everything.
This is a fundamental breakdown in the expected standard of care. Nursing homes have a responsibility to their residents, and when they fail, the consequences can be severe, leaving families feeling betrayed and angry.
The glossy brochures don’t show the potential reality: sometimes staff are overworked, undertrained, or proper protocols aren’t followed. When that happens, residents are the ones who suffer.
Nursing homes in Indiana operate under specific legal obligations. Your loved one doesn’t lose their rights just because they reside in a long-term care facility. Both federal law and state law protect them.
The federal Nursing Home Reform Act (OBRA ’87) sets national standards. Additionally, Indiana law provides specific protections. For instance, Indiana Code Title 12, Article 10, Chapter 13 (IC 12-10-13) outlines the “Rights of Persons in Health Facilities.”
Key rights under these laws generally include:
Knowing these rights empowers you to advocate effectively for your family member.
Seeing the problem is one thing; doing something constructive about it is the next step. Once you suspect neglect or abuse and have ensured your loved one’s immediate medical needs are addressed, focus on these actions:
You might be exhausted, emotionally drained, and wondering if pursuing this further is worth the energy. It’s a valid feeling. But taking action serves multiple purposes.
It’s about accountability. Nursing homes that provide substandard care need to face consequences. Pursuing a claim can force them to address staffing issues, improve training, or change dangerous practices. This can help prevent similar harm from happening to other residents down the line.
It’s also about seeking justice for what your loved one endured. Compensation obtained through a legal claim can help cover medical expenses resulting from the injury, pay for better care elsewhere if needed, and acknowledge the pain and suffering caused by the negligence or abuse.
A qualified attorney can assess the damages and advise on the potential for financial recovery based on the specifics of the case.
Don’t let your questions go unanswered or your concerns unaddressed. TopDog Law is ready to help you take the first step towards finding legal support.Â
