What are the signs of nursing home abuse or neglect to look out for? Although a number of things might indicate that there are problems, common signs of possible trouble include the following:
1. Bedsores;
2. Soiled bed linen or the smell of feces or urine;
3. Unexplained bruises or cuts;
4. Use of physical or chemical restraints;
5. Changes in mood or disorientation, often due to improper medication;
6. Weight loss; and
7. Unexplained fear or anxiety
Trust your feelings. People can often sense trouble before they can identify a specific problem. Don't ignore your instincts.
