Kenneth Halpern & Associates
Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Making the decision to entrust the care of a loved one to a nursing home can be difficult. Even more painful is learning that a nursing home has failed to provide the care expected or deserved. Unfortunately, nursing home patients can sometimes be neglected or even physically or sexually abused. They also can be taken advantage of financially.

Nursing homes, group homes and assisted living facilities may fail to provide basic services for which they were contracted. Improperly trained nurses and shortages of nursing staff often lead to injuries. Bedsores, decubitus ulcers or pressure sores may be caused by poor nutrition or infrequent turning of patients who are confined to bed or a chair. Falls occur when patients try to do things for themselves when nurses are not available to assist them. These injuries and other types neglect are avoidable with proper care and well-trained nursing home personnel.

Red flags for nursing home patients include:

  • Bedsores
  • Malnutrition or Dehydration
  • Bruises
  • Infection
  • Unexplained Injuries
  • Falls
  • Poor Hygiene
  • Fearfulness or Withdrawal
  • Depression
  • Changes in Behavior
  • Unexplained Death
