Estate Planning Attorneys 
When you choose a nursing home for your loved one, it is often because they need continuous, professional care. They may be vulnerable or frail, and the cost of care can be huge – you should be able to expect that your family member will receive dignified support, without question.
The reality is that nursing home abuse, most often in the form of neglect, is becoming far too common for comfort.
It can be hard to identify negligent care in nursing home settings, especially if an individual is not fully aware of all that happens around them. High staff turnover, low pay and poor working conditions, combined with slack training can mean that your loved one is neglected. The problems may stem from negligent management, especially if abuse occurs over extended periods of time.
Signs of Nursing Home abuse include:
- Burns or abrasions.
- Torn or blood-stained clothing.
- Missing personal items.
- Unusual or seemingly unexplainable physical injuries such as cuts, bruises, and even more serious injuries such as fractures.
- Dirty bedding, clothing, furniture, and furnishings.
- Unpleasant odors in room or clothing, or soiled underwear and clothing.
- Questionable financial transactions.
- Untended injuries – for example, open wounds or sores, and infections.
- Depression or withdrawal that is out of character and not in line with any conditions the individual is living with.
