Nursing Home Neglect - LoTempio PC Law Group

Nursing Home Neglect Warning Signs

When a family makes the tough decision to place a family member in a nursing home or an assisted-living facility to get the care that the family is not able to provide, unfortunately, the family then has the difficult job to ensure that the family member receives the proper care and is protected from neglect or abuse.

Importantly, family members must visit often. The visits should be staggered – different days of the week and different times of day. You need to get to know the staff and administrators. All of this will help your loved one get better care and attention.

If you have a loved one living in a nursing home, you might want to periodically check for signs of neglect to know if your loved one is suffering. There are a few things you can check your loved one for, including:

Marked emotional or physical changes
Decreased function
No interest in usual activities
Bruising
Skin breakdown
Dehydration
Malnourishment
Sudden weight loss

If you do not notice any of these things but still have a gut feeling that something may be off, take some time to observe the staff and the nursing home as a whole. Ask questions about what you are seeing. If the staff seems frantic or things appear chaotic, this could also be a sign that your loved one is not receiving the best care.
