Nursing Home Abuse in Arizona
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011
When the important decision to move into a nursing home is made, you must remember that rights are not given up as a citizen or a human being. If you or a loved one is being abused or neglected in a nursing home, Arizona attorney Jerrold Mayro can help bring abusers to justice.
In many cases, the nursing home resident may be unable to let those who care about them know that there is a problem. It is incumbent on the family members to recognize the signs of neglect and abuse. Some of the signs and symptoms may include:
- Depression
- Dehydration
- Marks and bruises
- Bedsores
- Undernourishment
Abuse can be in many forms–intentional infliction of physical harm, injury caused by negligence, unreasonable confinement as well as sexual abuse or sexual assault. Sadly, there are some nursing home employees that have no conscience when it comes to preying on vulnerable adults.
Family members must help look out for those family members who cannot look out for themselves. The whole point of moving someone to a nursing home is to help them with the things they can no longer manage on their own. Do not let them get into a situation where they become a victim of neglect and abuse.
If you suspect abuse or neglect at the nursing home where you or a loved one stays, please contact Arizona attorney Jerrold Mayro today.
