Nursing Home Negligence

Georgia Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect

Atlanta Injury Attorney

Do you suspect that your spouse or elder parent living in a nursing home or care facility is being abused or neglected?

Although elderly, ill, and disabled people can be more prone to further illness and injury, there are signs you can look for that could alert you to the possibility of abuse or neglect:

• Bedsores: Is your loved one being turned and moved frequently enough? Have you found him or her in a wet bed or wet clothing on several occasions?
• Malnutrition or dehydration: Has your loved one unexpectedly lost weight?
• Unsanitary conditions: Have you seen a lack of cleanliness in your loved one's room or the facility in general?
• Unexplained bruising: Elders can bruise easily but be suspicious if you see a pattern of bruising. It could be a sign of abuse by nursing home staff.
• Inattention: Are call lights left blinking for 10, 15, 20 minutes? Have you heard people calling for help and waiting many minutes for a response from staff? This could signal too few staff to care for residents.

Your loved one deserves respectful, responsive care and medical treatment while in a nursing home. Unfortunately, every year we see elders suffering serious injury and even premature death because of negligent or abusive care
