How do I know elder abuse is occurring
We understand that you won’t be with your loved ones constantly when they are living in an elder care facility. But there are definite warning signs of abuse that you can see when you visit, including:
- Unkempt appearances like dirty clothing or messy hair
- Bedsores that can happen when an immobile person is left in the same position for too long
- Missing mobility aids like a walker or broken hearing aids
- Sudden injuries or bruises
- Stories from your loved ones about being ignored or not respected
If you notice any of these issues, reach out right away. The safety of your family is paramount.
