We are brought up by our families to take care of each other and when it’s time to entrust our dear elders to nursing homes, we know it’s a difficult decision to make. Thus, we want to be assured that our loved ones get the constant care that nursing homes should provide. However, if a nursing home wasn’t able to deliver their duties well and mistreated our loved one, then it’s a clear example of abuse and negligence.
Nursing home abuse can take many forms, including physical, emotional, and financial abuse, as well as neglect, which is the failure to provide adequate care.
Signs of nursing home abuse and neglect can include:
Unexplained bruises, cuts, marks and injuries
Sudden behavioral changes
Poor hygiene or unsanitary living conditions
Sudden weight loss
Dehydration
Bed sores or pressure ulcers
Medication errors
