Nursing Home Abuse in Colorado

Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has a number of tips, that heavily revolve around open communication, to help prevent elder abuse in nursing homes.

The department suggests that those who witness anything wrong with the Colorado nursing home immediately address the problem with the appropriate staff members. Additionally, the department also suggests that people develop solid relationships with the staff that provides care for the elder.

If the problem continues, or if the elder is injured or has a serious risk of being injured, a formal complaint with the Colorado Department of Health and Environment to report elder abuse is warranted.
