When Nursing Homes Betray Trust
Families place their trust in Texas nursing homes to provide compassionate care for elderly loved ones. Sadly, not all facilities uphold this duty. Reports of physical abuse, emotional mistreatment, sexual abuse, and neglect are all too common in San Antonio nursing homes.
If your loved one has suffered neglect or abuse, Carabin Law’s experienced elder abuse attorneys are here to fight for their safety, dignity, and the compensation they deserve.
Signs of Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Sudden changes in mood or withdrawal
Bedsores, poor hygiene, or untreated medical needs
Signs of dehydration or malnutrition
Unusual financial activity or missing belongings
If you notice any of these red flags, it’s important to act quickly to protect your loved one.
