Nursing home abuse and neglect is disturbingly common today. As our population ages, elder care facilities are in greater demand, and regulatory agencies often don't have the funds or the personnel to properly oversee their activities.

Further, the condition of many nursing home residents makes them particularly vulnerable and often unable to reliably recount their abuse at the hands of their caregivers. Because of these factors, nursing home abuse can be difficult to recognize and to prove.

It's essential, though, that the loved ones of nursing home residents ensure their safety and well-being by watching closely for signs of abuse and neglect, including unexplained bruising, bedsores or other injuries, unnecessary overmedication, excessive use of restraints, poor hygiene, malnutrition, and other signs that elderly patients are not receiving sufficient or appropriate care.

If your loved one has suffered nursing home abuse, there are several steps you should take.

First, remove the patient from the situation if at all possible. It is imperative that your loved one begins receiving the care he or she needs as soon as possible.

Second, contact the authorities in your State and alert them to the situation. The website http://www.eldercare.gov provides a comprehensive list of the proper authorities for each State of the US.

Finally, get legal help. An experienced legal team can help you gather the evidence and present the case on your loved one's behalf, to ensure that your family member's needs are taken care of going forward. Burg Simpson Eldredge Hersh & Jardine, P.C. understands that nursing home residents are extremely vulnerable.
