Nursing Home Abuse

Florida, has been a haven for retirees and elder people. The warm weather is definitely the attraction for people with arthritis and other conditions related to joint and bone disease.

Many senior citizens are definitely in need of long term medical care and assisted living situations. Family members are forced to place a loved one in one of these types of facilities. Unfortunately, many workers and staff in these facilities are not properly trained. Family members are horrified when they find out about the abuse that occurs in some of these facilities.

Physical abuse, mental abuse, unnecessary restraint, medication errors, untreated medical conditions and sexual abuse occur in many facilities on a daily basis. Psychological abuse is probably one of the most common problems.

Psychological abuse occurs when elders are mistreated or neglected or verbally abused. Family members should look for these signs as an indication of nursing home abuse and neglect.

- Missing money or missing personal items
- Fractures of hip or wrist with suspicious cause
- Bedsores and bruising or marks on the body of the patients
- Complaints from family members of being treated roughly or verbally abused.
