Abuse & Negligence

Hold Nursing Home Facilities Accountable for Abuse and Neglect

There are many types of abuse and negligence that can occur in a nursing home. None of them are acceptable. When you send a loved one to a nursing home or assisted living facility, you are trusting the staff to take care of them in all aspects. They have a responsibility to ensure your loved one is happy and healthy and well taken care of.

When a nursing home facility you trust to take care of a loved one abuses or neglects them, it can lead to serious consequences. If you or someone you love has suffered from mistreatment due to abuse or neglect, seek legal counsel right away to receive compensation for injuries and justice for your family.

Many nursing home abuse cases go unreported and those residents and families suffer. That is why you must contact professionals as soon as you can. Danielle Fielding will go over your case with you for free to determine if there was abuse or neglect and if you qualify for compensation. Call (405) 849-5414 or book a consultation.

Signs of abuse or neglect in nursing homes

Suffering from abuse and neglect is a painful and traumatic experience. Many times, victims are unable to speak up for themselves or fear for their safety if they do. It is never acceptable for nursing home staff to abuse or neglect residents.

Being able to recognize the signs of abuse or negligence is essential, because it can only be stopped if it is first identified. The following may be indications of abuse, neglect, or wrongdoing in a nursing home:

  • Unexplained bruises, lacerations, or other injuries

  • Sudden and unexplained changes in mood or overall emotional well-being

  • Withdrawal and depression

  • Frequent illness

  • Dramatic weight loss

  • Bedsores

  • Poor hygiene

  • Unclean living quarters
