When Should I File A Nursing Home Abuse Claim?

When Should I File A Nursing Home Abuse Claim?

Placing a family member or loved one into a nursing home facility means placing your trust with that entity. You are assuming that they will be treated with kindness and receive proper medical care. However, there are certain unscrupulous nursing homes where the caretakers are neglectful or, worse still, abusive. In those cases, knowing the right way to file a nursing home abuse claim can be a positive start to rectifying a wrong.

Nursing Home Abuse Signs

There are a number of symptoms or signs of nursing home abuse. They include:

  • poor hygiene
  • unresponsiveness
  • strange behaviors
  • bed sores
  • unusual bruising
  • hasty, inexplicable transactions

If you have any reason to believe that your relative has suffered nursing home abuse at their nursing facility, you can start by bringing your concerns to the administrator. For many cases, the problem lies with one or two employees, but frequently, the problem with a nursing home may be systemic.
