Did You Know?

Approximately 1 in 10 Americans age 60+ have experienced some form of elder abuse.

An estimated 5 million elders are abused each year.

An estimated 1 in 14 cases of abuse are reported which equates to about 20% of abuse cases.

When families make the difficult decision to pursue nursing homes or assisted living care for their elderly or disabled loved ones, they put a tremendous amount of trust into that facility and its staff.

 

Unfortunately, nursing home negligence and abuse are serious problems in the United States, and it’s vital for family members to be aware of potential signs of abuse so that they can be sure their loved ones are getting the care they need and deserve.

 

Some signs that a nursing home resident may be the victim of negligence or abuse include:

  1. Malnutrition
  2. Dehydration
  3. Bed sores
  4. Unexplained or common cuts, bruises, or wounds
  5. Unusual financial activity
  6. Emotional agitation or withdrawal
  7. Infections

7. Falls

8. Weight loss

9. Reluctance of a resident or patient to speak in the presence of staff

10. Poor sanitary conditions

11. Sudden behavioral changes

12. Isolation

It’s truly unfortunate, but neglect and abuse of Florida’s elderly happen every day and can be physical, emotional, or financial – or a combination of them all.
