The Growing Problem of Nursing Home Abuse
Florida has one of the largest elderly populations in the country, and many families trust nursing homes with their loved ones’ care. Unfortunately, recent news stories highlight a troubling rise in nursing home abuse and neglect cases across the state. Abuse can include physical harm, emotional trauma, financial exploitation, or even neglect of basic needs.
Warning Signs of Abuse and Neglect
Recognizing the signs of nursing home abuse is critical. Common red flags include:
- Unexplained injuries, bruises, or fractures
- Sudden weight loss or malnutrition
- Emotional withdrawal, depression, or anxiety
- Poor hygiene or unsanitary living conditions
- Unexplained financial transactions or missing belongings
If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s important to act quickly to protect your loved one.
