Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse

Since our population is aging, more and more senior citizens are becoming dependent on others for their daily needs. For this reason, nursing homes and assisted living centers were created to provide elder patients the best of care they deserve, but sadly, this is not always the case.

The reality is, in some elder care facilities, elders are physically and financially abused and often neglected. Since elders are vulnerable, nursing home staff often victimizes them in several ways. They may not provide elders with a safe and clean environment. They may fail to provide them with proper nutrition or medication, avoid treating their wounds or bedsores or fail to provide supervision and proper hygiene care.

Some of the ways to find out if your loved one is being abused or neglected at the nursing home is to check for:

  • Unexplained cuts, bruises, burns, broken bones or infections
  • Bedsores or pressure sores
  • Malnutrition or dehydration
  • Genital infections
  • Changes in behavior
  • Rapid decline in health
  • Staff refusing visitors or delaying visitors to see the elder resident
  • Staff refusing visitor to be alone with elder resident
  • Over-medicated elder resident
  • Elder resident's missing belongings
  • Large withdrawals from elder resident's bank accounts
  • Changes in will
