Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
A recent congressional report found that one nursing home of every three was cited for an abuse violation in a two-year period. Nearly 10 percent of these violations were serious enough to cause actual harm to the residents or to place the residents in immediate jeopardy of serious personal injury or wrongful death.
- Signs of nursing home abuse or neglect include:
- Development of bed sores and ulcers
- Excessive and/or rapid weight loss
- Broken bones and/or unexplained falls
- Open wounds, cuts, bruises, or welts
- Unexplained or unexpected death
- Injuries resulting from restraint or lack of restraint
