What Are the Different Types of Nursing Home Abuse?

Nursing home abuse can unfortunately come in a variety of shapes and forms. What we tend to see are falls that lead to fractures. We tend to see poor skin care that leads to pressure sores, and those sores can turn into wounds, and those wounds can get infected and that’s when things get real dangerous.

We also can see overmedication or sometimes changes in mentation, meaning changes in your mental capacity, in which case someone could aspirate or breathe fluids into their lungs and get pneumonia real bad.

So when you see these sorts of these types of abuse materialized in these ways, your loved ones are gonna need help. They might need a change of facility and if it’s too late to do that, you’re gonna need to call an attorney and see if there’s other ways that you can help your loved one.
