McDonough Ga. Nursing Home Neglect/Abuse Attorney

You turned to a nursing home to help your aging loved one live his or her fullest life and to provide him or her with the necessary care and attention. If you’ve encountered nursing home neglect or abuse, however, the situation is exceptionally difficult, and turning to an experienced McDonough nursing home neglect/abuse attorney is in the best interest of your loved one’s health and overall well-being.

The Problem Is Far Too Common

Georgia’s Division of Aging Services reports that the abuse of aging Americans is all too real and that the issue goes unreported all too often. While both nursing home abuse and neglect are extremely dangerous and disturbing, nursing home abuse involves the additional element of intentionally causing harm, while nursing home neglect refers to a failure to adequately provide and care for nursing home residents. While nursing home abuse can be physical, emotional, sexual, or even financial in nature, some of the most common warning signs of physical abuse include:

• A serious injury, such as a broken bone, sprain, or dislocation that goes unexplained
• Unexplained bruises, welts, or scars that suddenly appear
• Signs of physical restraint, including restraint marks on wrists or ankles
• Attempts to keep visitors from spending time alone with residents

If you suspect nursing home abuse or neglect, you should speak up.
