Do You Know the Telltale Signs of Nursing Home Abuse?

There are specific things to look for when visiting loved ones in a nursing home. Inadequate staffing, marks or bruises, bed sores, belittling comments, and tense relationships are common signs that a problem could exist. There is simply no justification or excuse that's acceptable

if you or a family member were victimized by nursing home neglect or abuse. Like many families, you may be trusting a nursing home or assisted living facility to provide your older loved ones with the professional care and attention they need.

  • Physical abuse or injury
