Nursing Home Abuse

CT Perkins Injury Lawyers can help

According to the Elder Abuse Foundation, a study by the United States General Accounting Office found that over 50 percent of suspicious nursing home deaths were tied to nursing home abuse.*  Many of these deaths could have been prevented if the abuse or neglect had been discovered and reported.

Cases of nursing home abuse often go unreported because the victim feels ashamed or embarrassed about being taken advantage of.  Other victims may be afraid to speak out for fear of retribution.   It is important for relatives and loved ones to be conscious of the signs of nursing home abuse or neglect.

Common signs of abuse or neglect to look for when visiting your loved one include:

  • Unexplained injuries
  • Untreated bedsores
  • Fecal or urine odors
  • Sudden behavioral changes
  • Poor personal hygiene
  • Lack of a reaction to pain
  • Excessive or sudden weight loss
  • Abrupt or unexplained changes in wills
  • Missing money or possessions
  • Listlessness
  • Malnutrition
  • Begging for food
  • Burns or bruises
