Common Signs of Nursing Home Abuse

In some cases, your loved one may be able to tell you outright that they are being abused. However, many cases of nursing home abuse go unreported because the elderly individual cannot or will not speak out about what is happening. For example, perhaps they are being overmedicated to the point that they are having trouble speaking or they have been diagnosed with dementia and do not realize what is happening.

Certain signs of nursing home abuse are obvious, while others are less obvious. A few examples are:

  • Unexplained sprains, bruises, or fractures
  • Changes in behavior, such as depression
  • Lack of personal hygiene or dirty bedding
  • Signs of malnutrition or hunger
  • Arguments between nursing staff and the resident
  • Unsanitary or dangerous living conditions
  • Under or overmedication
