Every year in the US, thousands of senior citizens are neglected, abused, or exploited. The issue of elder abuse is so rampant that all 50 states have established their own elder abuse prevention laws. There are many signs of nursing home abuse or neglect. A nursing home resident may have unexplained physical injuries, such as bruises, cuts, or sprains. Malnutrition, dehydration, and untreated bedsores can also be signs of abuse or neglect.
Victims of nursing home abuse tend to be frail, vulnerable, and dependent on others to take care of their basic needs. If you know what the signs of abuse are, you can act immediately to protect your elderly friend or relative. Chances are that other patients are also being abused or neglected at the same facility.
