Frequently Asked Questions
What constitutes "nursing home abuse" and how can I recognize the signs?
Nursing home abuse encompasses a broad range of mistreatments, from physical and emotional harm to neglect and financial exploitation. The signs can vary but often include unexplained bruises, sudden emotional changes, bedsores, unaccounted weight loss, or increased agitation. Subtler signs might be emotional withdrawal, reluctance to speak in the presence of staff, or a noticeable change in financial records. If you suspect abuse, it’s essential to trust your instincts and seek guidance immediately.
If I suspect abuse, what immediate steps should I take before contacting an attorney?
First and foremost, prioritize the safety of your loved one. If they’re in immediate danger, consider seeking medical attention or relocating them temporarily. Document any signs of abuse, including photographs, medical records, or testimonies. Address your concerns with the nursing home’s management and see if they take corrective measures. Always keep a record of these conversations. If the issues persist or escalate, reach out to a seasoned nursing home abuse attorney, like those at Haskell & Dyer, for further guidance.
