Signs of Nursing Home Abuse

It is often left up to visiting family to spot signs of abuse. The following signs might indicate abuse or neglect of an elderly patient:

  • A long delay between your arrival at the facility and being able to see the resident
  • Staff members seem unwilling to leave you alone with the resident
  • Poor hygiene, untreated bed sores
  • Sudden weight loss caused by malnutrition or dehydration
  • Changes in personality or the resident displays unusual behaviors
  • Resident appears listless or over-medicated
