Did A Nursing Home Abuse Your Loved One?

When a family decides to place a loved one in a nursing home, they do so with the expectation that the home will provide adequate, compassionate and ethical care. If the loved one suffers unexplained serious injuries or a sudden death, then it is natural to be suspicious that careless actions made by the nursing home may have played a role.

With his years working in the insurance industry, Eric has a unique understanding of how to pursue the greatest amount of compensation available to you and your family under Nevada law.

Signs of Nursing Home Abuse

When a nursing home is abusive or negligent, staff members will often use intimidation and threats to keep residents silent about their suffering. In many cases, residents may be extremely anxious to open up about their injuries to their loved ones. Therefore, it may fall upon family members to watch for the symptoms of elderly abuse.

Common indicators of neglect or malicious actions by nursing home staff include:

  • Bedsores or pressure ulcers
  • Unexplained bruises or broken bones
  • Mysterious cuts
  • Sudden weight loss
  • Soiled clothing and bed sheets
  • Missing personal items, money or belongings
  • Injuries from a slip and fall
  • Emotional withdrawal
  • Loss of appetite or sudden increase in appetite (possibly indicating malnutrition)
  • Visible anxiety around certain staff members or areas of the nursing home
  • Refusing to see or delaying visits from family members

If you suspect that your loved one is suffering abuse, then you should try to get your loved one to confide in you. However, it may also be necessary to have a lawyer investigate the circumstances of nursing home abuse injuries before taking further action.
