Trinity Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer 

FL Injury Lawyers (Home) / Trinity Personal Injury Lawyer / Trinity Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer 

As loved ones age, people often turn to nursing home facilities for help caring for them. By entrusting the health, safety, and well-being of your nearest and dearest, families risk misplacing that trust. Overworked nursing home staff can have the best of intentions but fail to provide adequate care for residents. When that happens, neglect and abuse become rampant.

If you or a loved one have been the victim of nursing home abuse, a Trinity nursing home abuse lawyer can help. You do not need to suffer in silence any longer, get in touch with a compassionate personal injury attorney that can advocate for you.

Common Injuries Associated with Nursing Home Abuse

Accidents happen as people age, but when injuries are caused by abuse and neglect, the victims often feel helpless. Knowing the difference between injuries caused by slips and falls and those caused by abuse and neglect can help concerned families spot the mistreatment. It is important for individuals to be on the lookout for the following kinds of injuries:

  • Dehydration
  • Malnutrition
  • Head injuries
  • Infections
  • Bedsores that involve tissue or bone
  • Bruises, cuts and other wounds that have no explanation
  • Multiple injuries all in varying states of the healing process

Many of these injuries can occur from accidents, but they have a greater likelihood of stemming from abuse and neglect than other types of injuries.

Nursing Home Abuse Red Flags

When nursing home staff fail to provide proper care, residents can suffer both physically and emotionally. Knowing the warning signs of neglect and abuse in nursing homes can help worried families determine if their loved one is being mistreated. Common red flags a Trinity nursing home abuse attorney might tell people to look out for include:

  • Loss of mobility. While walking becomes more difficult with age, a good nursing home should help residents stay as active as possible. Residents who are left in bed for long periods of time risk losing their mobility altogether
  • Physical issues stemming from malnutrition. Neglected residents often do not receive adequate food and water. Malnutrition and dehydration are common among neglected residents.
  • Unsanitary conditions. Nursing home facilities are required to provide a safe, clean living environment for residents. Clean bedding and clothing, as well as clean bathroom and kitchen facilities, are necessary
  • Poor personal hygiene. In addition to living in a clean facility, residents themselves should receive help taking care of themselves. Many need assistance brushing their hair, clipping their nails and brushing their teeth. When those things are neglected, the resident often struggles to do so on their own
  • Unexplained injuries. Bruises, cuts and other wounds that seemingly appear out of nowhere could indicate abuse or neglect from staff
  • Psychological problems. Neglect can create emotional issues for residents. They may become depressed or anxious and stop eating or taking their medicine

How a Trinity Nursing Home Abuse Attorney Can Help

When a loved one has been taken advantage of or outright mistreated, it is easy to feel angry and confused about where to turn. A Trinity nursing home abuse lawyer can be your best ally in the fight against abusive, neglectful nursing home staff. By conducting thorough investigations and exploring your legal options, an attorney can advocate for your loved one and get them the help that they deserve.
