Do you think your loved one is the victim of nursing home neglect or abuse? Far too frequently, thousands of vulnerable residents of nursing homes, assisted living facilities and other residences suffer accidents at a time in their life when they should be cared for the most. Remember when people check in to these facilities, they don't give up their rights. In fact, they acquire new ones.

Lack of proper resources or staff can make nursing homes places of abuse and neglect. Abuse can take on many forms. Signs of abuse can show in observing the following:

• Open wounds, welts, cuts or bruises
• Bed sores
• Poor personal hygiene
• Torn clothing
• Fecal/urine odors
• Torn clothing or damaged personal effects
• Sudden changes in attitude or behavior

There are laws in place to protect those living in nursing homes, and to learn the rights of your loved one, you need the help of an experienced attorney.
