Signs of Elder Abuse

Signs of nursing home abuse to look for include:

• Unexplained injuries including bruises or explanations that just don't make sense
• Falls and Fractures
• Extremely withdrawn and non-communicative
• Unusual behavior or Emotional Agitation
• A Basic Neglect of Hygiene
• Lack of care for existing medical problems
• Dehydration and malnutrition
• Rapid weight loss or weight gain without physician or family notification
• Residents wandering unattended or leaving the facility
• Bedsores (also known as pressure sores or decubitus ulcers)

Profits over People

Staff related issues are the single biggest reason that residents of nursing homes and patients at other facilities are injured or do not get the care they need, despite the profit that these facilities accumulate annually.

In general, these jobs are low-paying, have a high turnover ratio and are often filled by employees with little training and skills. Typically the biggest problem is that there are not enough staff members to take care of the residents at the facility. Labor costs are cut frequently to increase profits at the expense of our loved ones.
