Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse Lawyer for NYC, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, S.I.
Protecting the Elderly From Abuse
One of the most unimaginable crimes that can be committed is nursing home abuse, negligence, and neglect. Our elderly deserve admiration, respect, and the upmost compassion. When we hear about cases where a nursing home acted unjustly towards an elderly victim, we take special care in handing their case.
The residents of nursing homes are exposed to serious vulnerability because of how unaccountable a nursing home may be. We send our elderly to these establishments with the hopes of peace of mind. We aim to be secure in the thought that they will be looked after properly, fed well, and be provided with a support staff who are nothing but sympathetic. Cases of nursing home negligence could include:
‣ Malnourishment from a lack of food or improper dietary sustenance
‣ Dealing with unsafe and hazardous conditions such as exposed electrical outlets, water leaks, and mold
‣ Injuries from bed sores, broken bones, bruising, rough handling by staff, and psychological suffering from abusive employees
How can you spot signs of emotional abuse?
There are common signs that your loved ones are being victims of neglect and emotional abuse. Sometimes they won’t tell you out of embarrassment or they have reached an age where communication is difficult. Look out for the following signs.
‣ Dirty, unwashed, and soiled clothing
‣ Strange behavioral patterns such as paranoia
‣ No longer partaking in activities which they previously enjoyed
‣ A lack of sleep or signs of excessive sleep
‣ Depression, anxiety, moodiness, and hostility
