Watch For Signs Of Abuse In An Adult Care Facility

Abuse in licensed care facilities such as nursing homes can happen instantly or over an extended period. Intentional and unintentional abuse occurring in adult care facilities often goes undetected, especially when a resident’s family does not live nearby. Your loved one may be experiencing abuse if you notice:

  • Sudden or unexplained physical injuries, such as broken bones, bruises or medical withdrawal
  • Emotional distress, such as unusual behavior or noticeable fear
  • Signs of neglect, such as bedsores, poor hygiene, foul-smelling environment or significant weight loss

If any of these signs are present, contact us about your loved one’s situation as soon as possible.
