Nursing Home Negligence
Placing a loved one in a nursing home is one of the most difficult decisions that an individual will make.  Despite making every effort to ensure the safety, care and comfort of your family members or loved ones, nursing home negligence may still occur.  Examples include physical, emotional or sexual abuse; unnecessary restraint; overmedication; withholding of food, water or medication; failure to assist with personal hygiene; and failure to obtain proper and timely medical care.  Unfortunately, victims of nursing home abuse, mistreatment and neglect are often the most vulnerable individuals because of physical and mental disorders, and the inability to communicate what is transpiring in their environment.  Be on the lookout for some of the following signs of abuse, mistreatment and neglect: inability of nursing home staff to explain a resident’s condition; unexplained injuries; open wounds; and non-verbal signs that something is wrong (emotionally upset, extremely withdrawn, unusual behavior, insulting or threatening behavior toward others).
