Warning Signs of Nursing Home Neglect or Abuse

When you visit your loved one, enjoy the visit. They will be incredibly happy to see you and love the company. But watch for these warning signs that can indicate nursing home abuse and neglect has occurred — or still is occurring.

What are Physical Signs of Nursing Home Abuse?

Physical signs of nursing home abuse may include  wounds, cuts, bruises, or broken bones. Some of the physical ailments could be more subtle though, such as sudden weight loss or unexplained minor injuries. Another physical sign to look for would be unwarranted restraints. Remember to always ask questions and document any physical ailments your loved one may be suffering.

What are Signs of Emotional Abuse for Elders?

An experienced Kenosha nursing home injury lawyer can help you understand any signs of emotional abuse your loved one may be experiencing. If you have any concerns about your loved one, some typical signs would include:

  • Bouts of depression
  • Fear and agitation
  • Sudden behavioral changes
  • Unwillingness to communicate with you
  • Any worrisome comments said by staff in your presence

Our skilled lawyers at the Law Offices of R.F. Wittmeyer, Ltd. handle nursing home injury cases and have extensive experience dealing with both physical and emotional nursing home neglect and abuse. If you feel your loved one may have experienced either or both, contact us today for a free consultation.

Reach out to an Experienced Kenosha Nursing Home Abuse Attorney

Abuse and neglect can be difficult to detect at a nursing home. The staff and ownership are trained to take care of people who are often very frail and sometimes ill. In most cases, they do the best they can do to help their residents and patients to achieve the best. Additionally, it can be difficult to report any abuse or neglect you may fear your loved one has experienced for fear that the facility or their caregivers may react negatively.

Because of the sensitivity of these situations, our nursing home abuse law firm uses over thirty years of experience to make sure that we work with you and your loved ones to thoroughly investigate as compassionately as possible. If you or someone you loved may be experiencing elder abuse or neglect, our attorneys can help. Contact the Kenosha nursing home injury attorneys at the Law Offices of R.F. Wittmeyer, Ltd. today for a free consultation. We are committed to helping you secure the full compensation for any injuries caused by a nursing home.
