Each year thousands of senior citizens are abused, neglected and exploited in nursing homes and other elder care facilities. Many victims are frail, vulnerable and depend on others to meet their most basic needs. Nursing home abuse is so widespread that legislatures in all 50 states have passed some form of elder abuse prevention laws. Knowing the warning signs of abuse is a first step toward protecting elderly friends or relatives. Residents of care facilities may sustain physical injuries from abuse, such as bruising, abrasions or lacerations. In other instances, neglect can cause dehydration and malnutrition or infections from untreated bedsores. If you believe someone is being neglected in a care facility, please contact us to discuss the specifics of your case. It is important to act as soon as possible, as the abuse may be widespread and other residents in the facility may be suffering from the same treatment.
