- Discomfort around certain care providers
- Unexplained scrapes, cuts, or bruises
- Sudden emotional changes
- Bed sores
- Extreme weight loss
- Grogginess indicating overmedication

Nursing Home Responsibilities
Nursing homes must provide adequate care for all of their residents. All nursing homes and residential care facilities are subject to a number of state and federal regulations. Violations of these laws can result in civil or criminal penalties. In addition to these penalties, individual residents are entitled to bring nursing home abuse lawsuits against nursing homes that fail to adhere to a minimum standard of care.
When to Contact a Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer
If your loved one tells you that he or she has been abused, contact a nursing home abuse lawyer immediately. Take any allegations of abuse or neglect seriously. Sometimes, it is best not to report abuse directly to nursing home administrators. This can lead to retaliation against your loved one. Contact a nursing home abuse lawyer for advice on how to proceed.
When it comes to nursing home abuse and neglect, trust your instincts. If you have suspicions about nursing home abuse or neglect after visiting your loved one in a residential care facility or speaking to him or her over the phone, act quickly to protect your loved one’s safety and wellbeing.
