Signs of Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
You can’t be with your loved one 24 hours a day when he or she is a resident of a nursing home, which can make it difficult to discover nursing home abuse. Some common physical signs to look for that may indicate neglect or abuse include:
- Abnormally pale complexion
- Bruises in a pattern that suggest restraints
- Excessive and sudden weight loss
- Fleas, lice, or dirt on resident or in resident’s room
- Poor personal hygiene or other unattended health problems
- Torn clothing or broken personal items
- Unpleasant odors
- Untreated bedsores, wounds, cuts, bruises, or welts
Other signs to watch out for that indicate improper care or neglect include:
- Allowing resident to wander off the premises
- Inability to explain resident’s condition
- Refusal to allow visitors to see resident alone
- Lack of proper heating or cooling in nursing home
- Sudden change in resident’s medication
