How do I know if a loved one is abused or neglected?
There are various signs that you must be alert to if you have a loved one in a nursing home.
These are the most common indicators of elder abuse or neglect:
- Bruises and marks on the body
- Bedsores
- Sudden changes in behavior
- Staff will not allow you to spend time alone with your relative
- Overmedication (grogginess, inability to communicate)
- Dry, papery or flaky skin (dehydration)
- Lack of cleanliness (odor)
- Unusual withdrawals or expenditures (financial abuse)
- Flinching from physical contact
