Signs Of Nursing Home Abuse

What You Can Do

The best way to spot nursing home abuse or neglect is through frequent unannounced visits to your loved one’s care facility. During these visits, take time to evaluate your loved one’s physical and emotional condition, checking for any signs of mistreatment. Also, take time to talk to your loved one, listening to their experiences while remaining alert to any indications of abuse. Frequent visits will not only give you an opportunity to check in on your loved one, they will allow you to familiarize yourself with the staff and management at the home. This can be invaluable should you have suspicions about abuse or neglect, as you will already have a working relationship with those charged with your loved one’s care.
