People place their loved ones in the care of a nursing home because they expect their needs will be met and that they will get better care than family could provide. Unfortunately, negligence and outright abuse in this area is all too common. In spite of the many state and federal regulations, established to protect the elderly in these settings, gross violations continue to occur every single day, compromising the health, well-being and dignity of some of our society's most vulnerable members.
Warning signs that a nursing home resident may be suffering abuse or neglect include:
- rapid weight loss
- unexplained bruises or other injuries
- sudden agitation
- emotional withdrawl
- the inability of a caretaker to sufficiently explain the patient's condition
- bed sores
- the smell of urine
- malnutrition or dehydration
