If the question is referring to retaliation by the "whistle-blowers" employer . . . if the subsequent investigation proves the whistle-blowers allegation to be true, yes, they are protected from legal retaliation. However they are not protected from being discharged by the employer.

Yes, many states have laws that protect caregivers who report suspected abuse or neglect from legal retaliation. These laws typically provide immunity from civil or criminal liability as long as the report was made in good faith and without malice. It is important for caregivers to understand the specific laws in their state regarding reporting suspected abuse or neglect.
