Warning Signs of Abuse or Neglect
Because residents are often unable or unwilling to speak up, families must watch for warning signs that may suggest abuse, such as:
- Unexplained injuries, bruises, or frequent falls
- Sudden changes in mood, withdrawal, or fearfulness
- Bedsores or poor hygiene
- Rapid weight loss or signs of dehydration
- Unexplained financial transactions or missing property
- Staff refusing to allow private visits with your loved one
If you notice these or other troubling signs, taking them seriously and seeking guidance on your next steps is essential. You can start by communicating with facility administrators. However, should this prove unsatisfactory, discussing your concerns with a trusted attorney is highly recommended.
Legal Remedies & Potential Compensation
Families who pursue legal action in nursing home abuse cases may seek compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and the costs of moving a loved one to a safer environment.
Additional damages may be available in cases involving severe harm or wrongful death. Just as vital, legal action can hold the facility accountable, helping prevent the same harm from happening to others in the community.
