Discovering Nursing Home Abuse Before It’s Too Late

There are some great nursing home facilities in Tennessee. You probably discovered that for yourself when looking on behalf of an aging loved one. That decision was an important one, and you took it very seriously. Getting your loved one into the best facility they could afford was the first step in this later season of life, so you took your time and made the best decision you could. Unfortunately, nursing home facilities that appear legitimate from the outside can sometimes fail to live up to their responsibilities. 

Nursing home abuse or neglect can come in many forms. The key is spotting the signs before real injuries or other damage can occur. When you go to visit your loved one, look for the following:

  • Bruises, bedsores, or cuts
  • Pale complexion
  • Poor hygiene
  • Unexplained fear or anxiety
  • Changes to medications
  • Lice, fleas, or dirt in their room
  • Signs of restraint

If any of these signs exist, your aging loved one could be the victim of nursing home abuse or neglect. The worst thing you can do in that situation is nothing. You need to ensure your loved one’s safety, no matter what. Then call our experienced Nashville nursing home abuse lawyers immediately for a free consultation. We can help you understand your loved ones rights and fight to get them the justice they deserve.
