Watch for These Signs of Nursing Home Neglect or Abuse

As we grow old, in many cases we also grow more vulnerable. We may become gradually less able to fight for ourselves and more susceptible to abuse by others.

Our law firm is dedicated to standing up for the rights of elderly people, and to making sure that negligence or abuse by people who are entrusted with their care does not go unchallenged.

If you are concerned about the well being and safety of an elderly family member, look for the following signs:

• Your loved one seems too quiet, depressed or afraid
• Inadequate nutrition, including malnutrition or dehydration
• Inadequate staffing, meaning untrained staff or too few staff members
• Medication mistakes (wrong type, too little, too much)
• Overmedication (often mistaken for dementia)
• Unexplained falls or broken bones
• Bedsores, also called decubitus ulcers
• Failure to provide adequate care
• Failure to diagnose an illness or new medical condition
