Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

It is estimated that for every one case of elder abuse, neglect, or exploitation reported to authorities, about five go unreported. Nursing home abuse and neglect can be physical, verbal, or emotional. Unfortunately, the abused person is not always able to tell their family what is wrong. Here are signs to look for:

• Unexplained injuries
• Cuts, bruises, or infections
• Slapping, yelling, pushing, excessive shaking
• Physical restraints
• Heavy sedation
• Withdrawal from normal behavior, non-communicative
• Rapid weight loss
• Lack of attention to medical needs
• Unsanitary or dirty living conditions
• Medical provider cannot explain patient's condition
