Kansas City, MO personal injury attorney Kevin Chaffee talks about who can be sued for nursing home abuse. He notes that a variety of parties can be held liable in cases of nursing home abuse. The facility itself is often named, but key individuals within the nursing home can also be responsible, including the administrator, who functions as the CEO, and the director of nursing, who oversees all nursing services.

Beyond the facility, external entities such as management companies or consulting firms may also bear responsibility. These organizations often make critical financial and operational decisions that directly impact the quality of care residents receive. Understanding the full range of potentially liable parties is essential when pursuing a nursing home abuse claim.
