We Have Years of Experience with Nursing Home Abuse Lawsuits in New York City

Very often, your loved one is very embarrassed of the abuse happening to them. They may not want to communicate the details of what’s going on. In other cases, they may not have the ability to accurately relay important information to you.

When your loved one can’t take care of their own needs, then it becomes your responsibility to advocate for them. Signs you loved one is being abuse can include:

• Unusually severe weight loss
• Poor personal hygiene
• Bruises and unexplained injuries
• Strange changes in their behavior
• Infections, dehydration, or sepsis
• Personal property that’s suddenly gone missing
• Fractures in their bones

If you suspect your loved one is being abused it’s better to act sooner rather than later. Abusers don’t suddenly change their behavior or stop it entirely. If no one addresses the situation, they will continue or escalate their behavior.
