What You Can Do Now
If you suspect your loved one is suffering from Pennsylvania nursing home abuse, there are several steps you can take to help your loved one. Begin by asking your family member about their care. Unfortunately, sometimes nursing home residents don't speak up about their treatment. They may not want to use their precious time with family to talk about something as horrifying as nursing home abuse, or they may be suffering from an incapacitating disease that prevents them from being able to speak up.
When visiting the nursing home, take note of living conditions, personal hygiene, and social activities. It may be a sign of nursing home neglect if your family member's room is dirty or he or she has poor personal hygiene. Talk to staff members about any sudden changes in medication or healthcare. Also look for bruises or signs of restraint use.
If any conditions seem suspicious or you still have doubts, contact a Pennsylvania nursing home abuse lawyer immediately.
