Reports may also be made directly to the nursing home facility where the older person resides. No matter who you report the incidence of abuse or neglect to, you should write down any and all details involved with the situation, such as dates, times, staff member names, names of any witnesses or people knowledgeable about the situation and your specific issues of concern. Over time, details can easily be forgotten. A written accounting will assist in the nursing home abuse or neglect investigation.
