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

If you suspect your loved one is suffering from nursing home abuse or neglect, our California nursing home abuse lawyers can dedicate their time and experience to making sure your family member and your claim get the attention and care they deserve.
