Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer
Placing the care and treatment of your elderly loved one in the hands of a nursing home or other elderly care facility, you are trusting that the employees have the skills, training, and experience to properly care for their patients. For most facilities, this is true. Unfortunately, some nursing homes are neglectful of or abusive to their patients.
Signs of Abuse and Neglect
Whether they have been verbally abused, sexually assaulted, or neglected, your loved ones deserve to fight for the justice and compensation they deserve for their injuries. However, many abused patients will be frightened or anxious about discussing their caregivers’ hurtful treatment.
As their loved one, a nursing home abuse lawyer will tell you that it is important to be able to recognize the signs of nursing home abuse or neglect and help your loved one file a nursing home lawsuit. Some of the most common signals include:
- Unexplained injuries or bruises
- Bed sores or frozen joints
- Broken bones
- Sudden change in behavior
- Open wounds, cuts, or welts
- Lack of hygiene
- Infections
- Food and water deprivation
- Unexplained venereal diseases or genital infections
- Change in physical or mental behavior (depression, anxiety, withdrawal)
- Overmedication
- Undermedication
- Patient prohibited from being alone with visitors
