Nursing Home Abuse
We want are elderly loved ones to receive the best care possible. Oftentimes, we cannot give them the care they need or provide them with round-the-clock medical care. Nursing homes are designed to care for our loved ones and provide them with a comfortable and caring environment. Some nursing homes may neglect our loved ones or have employees that are not properly trained or who do not have the proper qualifications. This can lead to neglect and nursing home abuse.
Nursing home abuse is characterized by the physical or emotional neglect or abuse of a resident of the nursing home. Signs of nursing home abuse include:
- Bedsores
- Soiled bedding
- Malnutrition
- Dehydration
- Poor hygiene
- Bruising
- Disinterest
- Lack of medical attention
Nursing home abuse can lead to the serious injury or wrongful death of your loved one. Your loved one may be suffering from nursing home neglect, but stays silent out of fear or does not know who to tell.
