BOWLING GREEN, KY / ACCESSWIRE / September 14, 2022 / Deciding to place a loved one in the care of a nursing home can be a stressful transition. Unfortunately, entrusting a nursing home and individual caretakers to provide the best care for your elderly family member isn't guaranteed, and neglect and abuse in a long-term care facility are common. Hughes & Coleman Injury Lawyers has a team of trained nursing home abuse lawyers to help should your loved one face wrongful actions in a nursing home such as neglect and abuse.

According to the National Council on Aging, up to 5 million elders are abused or injured each year in nursing homes. These victims can experience many types of emotional, physical, psychological and financial abuse. While victims are not at fault, certain situations can increase the likelihood an elder will experience abuse in a nursing home. Some of these instances can include if they experience consistent social isolation or have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or dementia.

Nursing home abuse and neglect physical signs to look for include bruises, physical marks and broken bones. A victim may also experience dehydration, unsanitary living conditions, increased fear and anxiety, or fraudulent and unusual financial activity. Contact Hughes & Coleman Injury Lawyers immediately if nursing home abuse or injury is suspected.
