How To Recognize Nursing Home Abuse And Neglect

If you’ve ever been to a nursing home, you already know that it can be an unsettling place. However, the environment of a nursing home is not necessarily evidence of abuse or neglect. You must look more closely at your loved ones and ask:

• Do they have unexplained bruises? If a resident falls or if there is some other medical condition that leads to easy bruising, there will be reports of this from the nursing home. However, a bruise without a report or an explanation is a red flag.
• Are they depressed? Sudden bouts of depression in a person that had not previously had depression is a sign of abusive or neglectful behavior.
• Did their mental state change rapidly? Many elders enter into a nursing home fully healthy with some smaller needs for assistance. If they rapidly decline after admittance, they may be suffering from abuse or neglect.
• Did they get their medication? Regular medication is a vital part of staying healthy, but if nursing homes cannot provide the medication their patients require, they are doing more harm than good.

There are many signs of potential nursing home abuse on top of these, including fearful reaction and missing property. However, the most important thing you can do is listen to your loved ones and trust them over the nursing home. If your loved ones are telling you the nursing home is treating them poorly, you need to reach out for help. Reach out to us.
