Many of our seniors and disabled relatives live in nursing homes or assisted living. Many of these institutions provide excellent care. However it is important to be vigilant in watching your loved one for signs of neglect or abuse. Some, not all, of signs of neglect or abuse include:
1. Bed sores
2. Falls: falling out of bed and slip and falls
3. Overmedication and undermedication
4. Malnutrition and dehydration
5. Seniors walking away from the institution
6. Assault and sexual assault
7. Unreasonable physical restraint
If you suspect that your loved on is being neglected or abused, you need to act. Call an attorney. I would be happy to consult with you free of charge. Call Keenan Powell: 258-7663.
