Experienced Kansas and Oklahoma Attorneys Focusing on Nursing Home Abuse

Experienced Kansas and Oklahoma Attorneys Focusing on Nursing Home Abuse

by admin / Sunday, 12 August 2012 / Published in Uncategorized

If you trusted a nursing home or assisted living facility to care for a family member or loved one, and now you suspect abuse, you are not alone. Sadly, abuse among our seniors is on the rise. Every year one out of four facilities in Kansas and Oklahoma is cited for causing death or injury to a resident.

Abuse can take many forms – ranging from neglect to physical assault. Some of our most vulnerable elders are the most susceptible to abuse, including those with dementia or disabilities. No matter what form it takes, nursing home abuse is illegal and needs to be stopped!

Unfortunately, incidents of abuse are rarely reported to the proper authorities. Residents may be reluctant to complain for fear of retaliation or embarrassment, and family and friends of the victim might be unaware of the common signs of abuse.

Know the Warning Signs of Abuse!

If you notice that your loved one exhibits warning signs of abuse, take immediate action. Warning signs may include any of the following:
• Physical Injuries
• Neglect
• Emotional or Behavioral Changes
• Death
• Broken bones
• Bed sores and bruises
• Medication overdose
• Head injury
• Dehydration or malnourishment
• Poor hygiene
• Soiled bedding
• Agitation, withdrawal or fear
• Frequent crying
• Complaints of poor treatment
