It's a fact of life that almost 43% of the U.S. population sixty-five or older will reside in nursing homes at some point. What you may not know is that negligence and mistreatment occurs in almost 1/3 of the nursing homes and elder care facilities in the U.S. As family members, we trust that our loved ones will experience high levels of care, no matter which home we choose. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. No matter how closely we investigate a facility, nursing home neglect and mistreatment can and does occur.
At The Law Office of Dabbs and Pomtree, our attorneys want you to help them put a stop to this gross injustice. Often, neglect is hard to uncover. With the rise in nursing home population and projected longer life expectancies, nursing home litigation is becoming more common in this country. In addition to pursuing these facilities for our clients, our nursing home neglect lawyers are raising awareness of nursing home abuse. Below, we've listed some things to look for that can be a sign of negligence.
14 Common Signs of Nursing Home Neglect or Abuse:
- Bed/pressure sores
- Bruising or fractures
- Malnutrition
- Low self-esteem/depression
- Use of physical or chemical restraints

- Poor personal hygiene
- Frequent illness/failure to report illness
- Unexplained or unexpected death of resident
- Rapid weight loss or weight gain
