When nursing homes fail to provide adequate care, our loved ones can suffer tragic abuse and neglect. Washington state laws protect nursing home residents from on-site injury, death, negligence or abuse.
There are several signs that may indicate nursing home negligence or elder abuse:
- Confusion and disorientation from improper medication or overmedication
- Difficulty walking due to lack of assistance, physical therapy/rehabilitation, exercise or other care
- Dehydration or malnourishment
- Bed sores or pressure ulcers from remaining stationary or not being repositioned in accordance with care plans
- Poor personal hygiene due to inadequate care, toileting and bathing
- Unexplained bruises, cuts or fractures from possible physical abuse or neglect
- Bruising around the genital area or acquiring a sexually transmitted disease
- Sudden changes in finances or estate plans
