When you place a loved one in a care facility, you trust they’ll be treated with compassion and respect. But too often, that trust is broken. Here’s what to watch for:
🔴 Bedsores – More than 1 in 10 nursing home residents develop bedsores, a preventable condition caused by lack of proper care.
🔴 Medication Errors – In 2020 alone, there were over 750,000 reported medication errors in nursing homes across the U.S.
🔴 Untreated Infections – These are one of the leading causes of nursing home injury-related lawsuits, often due to delayed or inadequate medical attention.
🔴 Weight Loss & Dehydration – A federal investigation found 43% of sampled residents were critically underweight, signaling severe neglect.
🔴 Unexplained Broken Bones – Injuries like these can indicate concealed falls… or worse, signs of physical abuse.
🔴 Slip & Falls – Patient falls are the #1 cause of death and serious injury in elderly populations — and many are entirely preventable.
These are not just warning signs. They are legal red flags.
💬 If you suspect that your loved one may be suffering from neglect or abuse in a nursing home or assisted living facility, contact Brooks, LeBoeuf, Foster, Gwartney & Hobbs.
We’re here to protect your family when it matters most.
