Recognize the Telltale Signs of Nursing Abuse
Most assisted living facilities and nursing homes in Portland provide good care and a safe environment. However, senior citizens find themselves vulnerable to harm caused by poor medical treatment, neglect, and abuse by poorly trained or uncaring staff. These problems are made worse by the fact that these older adults are often not able to communicate their needs to family or friends.
The best way to find out if your loved one is being properly cared for is to regularly pop in for unannounced visits. If you notice any of these red flags, don’t wait to take action.
Keep a watchful eye!
When you visit a loved one in a nursing home, long-term care, or assisted living facility, look for:
• Unexplained cuts, bruises, or bleeding
• Bedsores and pressure wounds
• Torn or bloody clothing
• Unsanitary living conditions
• Malnourishment or dehydration
• Medication errors
• Humiliation or intimidation
• New pain complaints
