At Edgar Snyder & Associates, we've helped many victims of nursing home abuse and their families get the compensation they deserve for what they've been through. We also know that many of our clients have lots of questions about reporting nursing home abuse, and about long-term care in general.

We've compiled a list of online resources to help you learn more about care for the elderly, nursing home facilities, and more. We also have a list of nursing home phone resources.
