1 - Document signs of abuse

3 - Talk privately with your loved ones

5 - Report to Arkansas DHS

2 - Photograph injuries

4 - Save incident reports & medical records

6 - Request facility staffing records

Ask for documentation on staff schedules and qualifications. Understaffing or unqualified personnel can contribute to neglect.

7 - Don't confront staff directly

Keep a detailed log of any unusual behavior, physical injuries, or environmental concerns. Note dates, times, and descriptions to establish a clear record.

Take clear photos of any visible injuries, unsanitary conditions, or hazards. Visual evidence can be crucial in investigations.

Have a confidential conversation to understand their experiences. They may reveal information they wouldn't share openly.

Collect and securely store all relevant medical documents and any reports provided by the facility. These can support your case.

File a complaint with the Arkansas Department of Human Services' Office of Long Term Care by calling 1-800-582-4887 or emailing [email protected] . You can also contact the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program at 501-682-2441 for additional support.

Avoid direct confrontations with facility staff, as this may escalate tensions or lead to retaliation. Let authorities handle the investigation.

Ludwig's Strategy for Winning Your Case

We Get Facility Records and Staffing Logs.
We dig into shift schedules, complaint histories, state inspection reports, and daily care records to uncover neglect or understaffing — this is often where the paper trail tells a different story than the nursing home.

We Consult Medical and Nursing Experts.
Our team partners with geriatric care professionals, forensic nurses, and medical experts to confirm the signs and causes of abuse or neglect — and prove how it harmed your loved one.

We Show the Real Impact of the Abuse.
From bedsores and malnutrition to emotional trauma and wrongful death, we document every way your loved one’s life was affected — and demand full accountability for what happened.

We Keep You in Control.
You decide whether to settle or go to court — but we give you the evidence, options, and leverage you need to make the strongest possible decision for your family.

You Don’t Pay Unless We Win.
We take these cases on contingency — no hourly rates, no surprise bills. We front the costs and only get paid if we recover money for you.

You trusted them to care. They broke that trust.
Let Ludwig Law Firm step in and fight to make it right.

Our personal injury attorneys know how devastating it is to learn your relative is not being properly cared for. We’re here to help you rectify the situation and hold the negligent facility responsible. Here’s how we do it:

The Staffing Issue

Have you ever been in a restaurant that's poorly staffed? What about the TSA line? Not a fun experience, right?

As consumers, we experience the consequences of short-staffed institutions in brief bursts throughout our days, weeks, or even months. But, what if you lived in a place 24/7 that suffered from this issue? What if that place was a nursing home, and you were its resident?

Like other institutions, staffing levels in nursing homes are a critical determinant of the quality of care residents receive. Our state law recognizes this: the Arkansas Code mandates that specific minimum staffing ratios must be in place, so that residents can have a high level of care.

In Arkansas, we are fortunate to be in a state where nursing homes are highly regulated, and our state law strongly protects against negligence. But there are always outliers.

Inadequate staffing can cause serious problems for residents, such as increased risk of falls and medication errors. Truly, a delayed response to a patient's need could be the difference between life and death.

If your loved one has experienced neglect, call us immediately so that we can discuss how we can begin protecting your rights.
