Two things we cannot avoid are taxes and aging. The older we get, the more vulnerable we get and the greater our needs are. One of the hardest decisions we will invariably face will be the proper care of our aging relatives. That’s why it is so offensive to hear of so many people who are victimized while in nursing homes. Not only do nursing homes and elder care establishments get paid to care for our loved ones, but they are mandated by law to do so with a high degree of care.

Unfortunately, our loved ones are still susceptible to being victimized by those entrusted with their safety. If your loved one has been the victim of negligence or abuse at the hands of those entrusted to protect and care for them, call The Flowers Law Firm P.C. We have the knowledge and experience to help you in this most delicate time and will work to assure the safety and care of your loved one.

Signs of Nursing Home Abuse

It is important that you pay attention to signs that may indicate whether your loved one is being neglected or abused. Many elderly are not capable of communicating this – either out of fear or incapacity – it is up to you to be proactive in identifying any suspicious change in behavior.

Here are some signs that your loved one is being abused:

• Unexplained bruises, fractures or body marks
• Unsanitary clothing and living conditions
• Sudden change in behavior
• Rapid weight loss
• Disappearance of valuables
• Questionable financial transactions

Whether your loved one was the victim of neglect and abuse by a nursing home staff or a caregiver, it is time that you take action to hold these entities responsible for mistreating your loved one and for violating your trust.
