Signs of Nursing Home Abuse (Part B)

Warning Signs of Other Types of Nursing Home Abuse

Sometimes, when a victim is afraid, they are too afraid to speak, so be aware of changes in their behavior. When you get them alone, ask them if they are being treated well by the nurses and staff. If you suspect something serious, or if someone is injured, then you should contact the proper authorities and speak to an experienced Chicago nursing home abuse lawyer.

Some serious types of nursing home abuse include:

• Assault
• Sexual assault or rape
• Unreasonable physical restraint
• Food or water deprivation
• Unauthorized use of medication
• Over or under medicating
• Not providing sufficient medical attention

There are also forms of abuse related to a resident's finances and possessions. If you discover a loss of valuables, sudden withdrawals from a resident's bank account, or abrupt changes in a financial document, then there may be a case of theft. If you suspect theft, then you may need to have an attorney or accountant review the facts and figures.

How can a Chicago nursing home abuse lawyer help me?

If you discover a case of nursing home abuse, a lawyer can take the necessary step to ensure that those responsible are held accountable for their illegal actions. Taking legal action against those perpetuating the neglect may also prevent them from abusing other residents either currently or in the future.
