Signs Of Abuse In NYC Nursing Homes
Most healthcare professionals, both within and outside of the nursing home industry, are conscientious and competent. However, it is better to seek help if you suspect elder abuse than risk the health and welfare of your loved one. A nursing home worthy of a good reputation will withstand legal scrutiny, while those guilty of mistreating their inhabitants will be exposed and prohibited from inflicting further harm.
When you visit your elderly loved ones, it is important that you be mindful any potential warning signs of abuse, including:
- Changes in behavior, appetite, or general demeanor.
- Any unexplained financial activity or sudden changes in the elderly person’s financial state.
- Signs of possible neglect, including bedsores, an unkempt or unclean appearance, and generally poor living conditions.
- Signs of possible physical or sexual assault, including bruises, scars, cuts, broken bones, rope burns, stained or bloody undergarments, and rips in clothing.
Remember, it is better to report possible elder abuse and be proven incorrect than to remain silent and risk the well-being – and potentially the life – of your loved one.
