What Does Nursing Home Physical Abuse Look Like?

Physical abuse of the elderly takes many forms, and can include the following:

Striking or punching an elder
Using force or physical restraints to keep an elder in bed
Pushing an elder down
Throwing an object at an elder

This type of behavior is often covered up by abusive employees. Vigilant family and friends should always be on the lookout for signs that their loved one is being abused. This could include:

Unexplained bruises or cuts

Broken bones
Malnutrition or dehydration
Fear of a particular orderly or caretaker
Uncharacteristic mood swings or depression

Often, the person suffering from the abuse is unable to communicate what is happening to them. Nursing home employees may explain the signs of abuse as happening in “accidents.”

Choosing the right nursing home for your loved ones is a personal (and tough) decision. It is something you must decide on your own, or with the rest of your family. With that in mind, however, there are a few resources you can use to help with the decision.
The Health Facilities Consumer Information System provided by the state of California lets you search for different types of health facilities, including nursing homes. The Medicare website also provides a tool for finding nursing homes.
The Health Facilities Consumer Information System also lets you search for complaints against said facilities. You can use this tool to check on any homes you might be considering and see if complaints have been filed against them.

Pressure sores, also called bed sores and pressure ulcers, are a common sign of nursing home abuse or neglect. They are caused by unrelieved pressure on the skin. Bed sores typically appear near areas where the bones are close to the skin: the hips, back, elbows, and ankles. When pressure sores first show up, they’re just skin irritation. With prompt treatment, they typically have no lasting effects. When not treated quickly, however, later stages can result in serious damage not only to the skin but also to muscle and bone.
The greatest tragedy of pressure sores is that they are relatively easy to prevent. Regular movement of a person restricted to a bed or wheelchair can help avoid pressure sores. Someone who must remain in bed should be moved about every two hours. The use of a pressure-reducing mattress can help. A proper diet, cleanliness, and daily exercise all help prevent pressure sores and eliminate the serious harm that can accompany them.
The answer is no. Siegel Law takes all cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that our clients owe the firm nothing for expenses unless they are awarded a monetary settlement or we receive a favorable verdict at trial. All expenses will be deducted from the settlement or jury verdict. Not a dime will be taken out of your pocket.
