The Signs Of Nursing Home Neglect And Abuse
Your loved one could be suffering from neglect and abuse from a nursing home, and you might not even know it. Perhaps they fear retaliation or your loved one is experiencing cognitive impairments that prevent them from clearly communicating such things.

- Bedsores or poor hygiene
- Sudden weight loss or malnutrition
- Dehydration or poor fluid intake
- Unsanitary living conditions
- Emotional withdrawal or depression

You can also look for warning signs in the nursing home, including:
