Where do I go to report suspected nursing home abuse?
Any nursing home abuse or negligence should be reported immediately to a knowledgeable nursing home attorney and to your local State Department of Health Licensing or Certification office. You may also report it to the headquarters of your state health agency. It is wise to make your report by mail and keep a copy of your complaint. If you should make your report by telephone, keep a note of the date of the report and the name of the person with whom you spoke.
