Did You Know?    
 
 
There are definitions of nursing home abuse and neglect.
Abuse means causing intentional pain or harm. This includes physical, mental, verbal, psychological, and sexual abuse, corporal punishment, unreasonable seclusion, and intimidation.

 



Nursing homes may be the best places to put aging parents and grandparents who require 24-hour help from nurses and doctors. Although nursing homes can be great places, some make a living by cramming people into small rooms and neglecting or abusing your relative. If you suspect that you or someone you love may be victims of nursing home abuse, contact a nursing home abuse lawyer in New York today.

Nursing homes are popular destinations for retired adults who live on a fixed income. Often, the cost of living in a nursing home is paid for by Medicaid or Medicare, making nursing homes even more attractive. But if the employees aren’t paid well enough or if they’re unhappy about any other situation, they may choose to retaliate against you or your relative.

Don’t let yourself be victimized. Recognizable signs of nursing home abuse include:

  • Sudden death
  • Over or under medication
  • Unexplained injuries or bruises
  • Visible cuts, bruises, or welts
  • Rapid weight loss or weight gain
  • Dehydration, malnutrition, and bedsores
  • Unsanitary living conditions
  • Infections
  • Broken bones
