Signs include unexplained bruises, bedsores, rapid weight loss, poor hygiene, dehydration, unusual fearfulness, and sudden behavioral changes. Financial exploitation — unauthorized charges or missing funds — is also common. Document everything and photograph injuries.
Federal law (the Nursing Home Reform Act) and state regulations mandate minimum staffing levels, care planning, and residents' rights protections. Facilities that fall short can face regulatory sanctions and civil liability for injuries caused by inadequate care.
Preserve all medical records and document communications with facility staff. Report to your state's long-term care ombudsman and Adult Protective Services. Then consult a nursing home abuse attorney who can investigate, gather expert testimony, and file suit against the facility.
