5 Signs of Nursing Home Abuse

When you entrust a loved one to a nursing home, you do so in the belief that he or she will be well taken care of. Sadly, this expectation is sometimes violated as nursing home staff engage in abusive behaviors. Many elderly people suffer from nursing home abuse on an annual basis, but you can take action to prevent further violations of your loved one. Detecting abuse early can help to limit the harm which your loved one must endure.

If you notice signs of abuse in a loved one who is staying in a nursing home, contact the experienced New Jersey nursing home abuse lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., by calling 800-346-5529.

Frequent Indicators of Abuse

Nursing home abuse can take many forms, but there are certain signs that you can look for in a loved one if you suspect that nursing home abuse is occurring. Five frequent indicators of nursing home abuse include:

  • Sudden weight loss
  • Unexplained bruises / cuts
  • Inexplicably poor health
  • Atypical anger or withdrawal
  • Fractured bones

Upon observing one or more of the above, discuss the matter with your loved one and seek the legal counsel and representation of a skilled and knowledgeable attorney.
