Signs of nursing home neglect
The death of a loved one is always difficult, but the fact that it could have been prevented makes it even harder. When it comes to nursing homes, it is important to know the warning signs of neglect so we can protect our loved ones when they can no longer care for themselves. If your loved one suffered from any of the following, he or she could have been neglected:
- Bedsores
- Dehydration
- Malnutrition
- Broken bones, lacerations or bruises
- Falls
- Medication errors
Any of the above can cause serious injury and pain and can be fatal. While no amount of compensation can replace your loss, it is important to stop elder abuse and hold people responsible for their actions. If your loved one suffered from elder care fatal injuries, talk to a lawyer you trust.
