Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers

Signs of Nursing Home Abuse

In situations where you require the services of a nursing home abuse attorney, we will talk with you about your situation and discuss your best course of action. Our expert investigators will thoroughly examine the nursing home and uncover evidence of nursing home abuse and neglect. A nursing home abuse attorney will then discuss the findings with the nursing home. If the home does not agree to settle the case on our terms, we will take them to court where a judge or jury will determine the penalty to the nursing home.

Common Physical Signs of Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect:

Untreated bedsores
Open wounds, cuts, bruises or welts
Torn clothing or broken personal items
Bruises in a pattern that would suggest restraints
Excessive and sudden weight loss
Fleas, lice, or dirt on resident or in resident's room
Abnormally pale complexion
Fecal/urine odors
Poor personal hygiene or other unattended health problems
Signs of a Careless Staff
A careless staff often suggests a situation prone to nursing home abuse and neglect.
Lack of proper heating or cooling in nursing home
Caregiver's inability to explain resident's condition
Caregiver's refusal to allow visitors to see resident alone
Caregiver allowing resident to wander off the premises
Sudden change in resident's medication
