Detecting Elder Abuse
If your loved one is under the care of a nursing home, it is important to watch out for signs of mistreatment. These can include changes in behavior, rapid weight loss, poor hygiene, and unexplained bruises or broken bones. If your loved one refuses to have visitors or displays withdrawn behavior, you should consider speaking with an attorney who can investigate the situation.
Common Types of Elder Abuse
Sadly, abuse and neglect happens every day in nursing home facilities across the U.S. There are many different forms of abuse, including:
- Mental Abuse - patients are often humiliated or isolated as a form of punishment
- Medical Neglect - bedsores and other untreated medical conditions can become life threatening
- Prescription Errors - patients can be forced to deal with pain if they don't receive their medication on time
- Negligence - neglecting everyday necessities can lead to poor hygiene and malnutrition
- Physical Abuse - patients may be beaten, restrained, and even sexually assaulted
- Financial Exploitation - keep an eye out for missing property, changes in banking habits, and any changes to wills or other financial documents
