This document discusses strategies for pursuing elder abuse cases against nursing homes. It notes that such cases are often about ongoing neglect rather than isolated incidents, and require gathering extensive documentation over long periods of time to show patterns of understaffing, budget cuts prioritizing profits over care, and resulting harms like malnutrition, dehydration and bedsores. The document provides examples of sources of evidence like regulatory reports, corporate memos, accounting records, and testimony from former employees that can demonstrate a failure to provide adequate custodial care due to understaffing.
