Are There Signs That You Should be Aware of That May Indicate If Your Loved One Has Been Abused or Neglected in a Nursing Home?
Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect is a tragedy that is preventableWith so many elderly citizens residing in nursing homes, reports of Nursing Home Abuse, Nursing Home Neglect, and exploitation continue to increase. Abuse of the elderly is a tragedy that is preventable in most cases.
There are a number of signs and symptoms that indicate abuse or neglect. For instance, if you notice that a loved one in a nursing home is acting irrationally, take note. Elder abuse can be physical, emotional, or even sexual. A victim's reaction can range from withdrawal to violence.

Signs that a Loved One In A Nursing Home could be in trouble include:
- Behavioral Problems
- Changes In Physical Conditions

Also take note if your loved one becomes extremely lethargic, withdrawn, and/or depressed. Such reactions are not uncommon in abuse situations. Check the nursing home resident's personal hygiene and condition of his or her room. Pay close attention to whether your loved one seems malnourished or dehydrated.
