When Your Trust In Your Loved One’s Caretakers Is Broken

When you help a loved one into a nursing home or long-term care facility, you place trust in the staff to take proper care of them. However, nursing home abuse and neglect cases are becoming more common across the country and throughout West Virginia. Understaffing, low funding and inadequate training can all lead to neglect or mistreatment. If you suspect your loved one is being abused or neglected in a care facility, don’t hesitate to contact an experienced attorney to help make it right and demand accountability from those responsible.

Nursing home abuse and neglect can present themselves in different forms. The signs can be obvious or hidden, ranging from unexplained bruising to malnourishment. There are some signs you can look for when visiting loved ones.

Some signs of nursing home abuse and neglect can include:
