If you’ve suffered abuse or neglect as a nursing home
resident, or if you’ve observed the signs of abuse or neglect
of a family member who resides in a nursing home, report
the abuse as soon as possible. You also may wish to contact
an attorney who is experienced in dealing with nursing home
abuse cases. Some things to pay attention to if you feel
you or someone you know is a victim of nursing home abuse
are:
|
|
|
• Indications of physical injury like unexplained bruises,
cuts, burns, abrasions, broken bones or sprains
• Signs of neglect including dehydration, malnourishment,
unusual weight loss, poor hygiene, pressure marks, soiled
bedding, or unattended medical needs; hazardous, unsafe,
or unsanitary living conditions
• Emotional or behavioral changes such as agitation,
withdrawal, fear or anxiety, apathy, frequent crying,
strained relationship with nursing home staff, or complaints
of improper treatment
• Unexplained financial discrepancies like missing money
or personal possessions, suspicious financial transactions,
unpaid bills (despite available funds), or sudden transfer
of assets
