Loved One Abused in a Nursing Home?

Hire a Victoria Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Many of us entrusting the care of your loved one to a nursing home because we believe these facilities can provide better care than we can. Thousands across the entire country have a relative or someone close to them living in a nursing home. It may be difficult to believe, but sometimes medical care practitioners can be negligent and even abusive in their roles. We want to trust that these practitioners are doing everything that they can to help our loved one, but when that trust is violated, it goes against all manner of ethics.

Do you have reason to believe your loved one is being abused in their nursing home? Call Daspit Law Firm today to learn about your legal options.

How can I tell if my loved one is being abused?

When we grow older, and certain functions of our bodies begin to fail us, it becomes difficult for the elderly to speak up or defend themselves. In nursing homes, we may see staff members acting negligently due to poor training, being underpaid, or not enough nurses on duty. While these do not excuse negligence in any form, it is one explanation as to why some facilities are not being run properly, thus, neglect and abuse occur.

If your loved one exhibits some of these warning signs, he or she may be a victim of abuse:

• Withdrawal, anxiety, or depression
• Sudden weight loss
• Malnutrition
• Dehydration
• Dirty or soiled bedding
• Unsanitary living conditions
• Bruising or injuries that appear with no explanation
