How Families Can Document Concerns

By Justice For Our Parents

Assessment / Monitoring Issues

When families suspect elder abuse or neglect, documentation can make all the difference. Maintaining clear and consistent records helps support investigations and legal action. At Justice For Our Parents, we recommend families:

• Write down dates, times, and details of concerning incidents.
• Take photos of injuries or unsafe conditions.
• Save voicemails, texts, or emails that show patterns of mistreatment.
• Keep copies of medical records, care plans, and facility communications.
• Report concerns to the appropriate authorities and request written confirmation.

Documentation isn’t just evidence—it’s a form of advocacy. It shows that you’re paying attention, taking action, and standing up for your loved one.
