When we put our loved ones in the care of a nursing home or assisted living facility, we trust that the staff will care for them as much as we would. Unfortunately, sometimes these places can be understaffed and overworked, and our loved ones fall victim to neglect or abuse. What’s worse is that the victims of nursing home abuse are usually the residents that are least likely or least able to speak out.

Signs of nursing home abuse and neglect include:

• Malnutrition
• Dehydration
• Bed sores
• Broken bones
• Bruises
• Depression

Addressing nursing home negligence can be very difficult. There is always the fear that if you ask the staff directly, something worse may happen to your loved one. However, you do not want to ignore the problem altogether if you honestly believe there is a problem. At Hannon & Boyers, we know how to handle nursing home abuse claims. We understand the difficult situation you and your loved one is going through and the fear that someone you love is being abused physically, emotionally, or sexually.
