The Signs of Elder Abuse and Nursing Home Negligence
If you suspect any of the following types of elder abuse are occurring, it is crucial to seek legal help:
- Neglect or failure of a caretaker to provide goods or services essential to avoid physical harm, mental anguish or mental illness. This includes the denial of food, health or hygiene as well as abandonment.
- Decubitus ulcers, commonly known as "bedsores"
- Physical abuse or injury
- Emotional or mental anguish
- Financial or material exploitation
- Sexual abuse
Bedsores
Decubitus ulcers, more commonly known as bedsores, are perhaps the most common sign of neglect in nursing homes and assisted-care environments. There is no excuse for bedsores to be present as they are entirely preventable by repositioning patients on a regular basis; these injuries are purely the result of neglect.
