Common Signs of Abuse

It is very unfortunate that nursing home abuse is as widespread as it is. This type of abuse comes in many forms. Negligence, physical and sexual assault, verbal abuse and even financial misconduct are all too common in many facilities that are supposed to care for our loved ones. Abuse of this nature is extremely harmful both physically and mentally. Many of the residents of nursing homes are vulnerable so it is vital that you monitor their care closely.

Common signs of abuse include a drastic change in emotional state, anxiety, agitation and a lack of communication. Physical signs of abuse include bruising, bed sores, broken bones, malnutrition, dehydration and unsanitary conditions. Improper distribution of medicine is a form of medical malpractice that is also common. Lack of assistance given to residents in their daily activities and failure to protect them from harm is a form of negligence.
