(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 28, 2011 ) New York, NY – IQNursingHomes.com, a comprehensive resource for nursing home abuse help, has updated its nursing home guide with the warning signs of elderly abuse. A list of common nursing home abuse symptoms has been added so that loved ones can be aware of the signs which may indicate that their mother, father, or other family member is being abused or neglected in a nursing home. The list of nursing home abuse signs can be accessed by visiting http://www.iqnursinghomes.com/elder-abuse.cfm. After reviewing the common warning signs, site users who suspect their loved one is being mistreated in a nursing home can click the “Get Free Legal Help” tab to receive a no cost, no obligation review of their nursing home abuse claim.
IQNursingHomes.com lists unexplained bruising, bedsores, cuts, and infections as common signs of nursing home abuse. However, non-physical forms of abuse may present less obvious symptoms. Mood swings, unexplained anxiety and unusual behavior, such as rocking, biting and sucking, may be indications that the nursing home resident is being subjected to emotional abuse. Likewise, financial nursing home abuse may also present more subtle signs, such as strange changes in wills and similar documents, unpaid bills despite financial stability, and subscriptions or charges for unnecessary services.
Often, signs of nursing home abuse go unrecognized or are dismissed as symptoms of dementia or the frailty that often accompanies aging. In fact, many nursing home abuse symptoms overlap with these conditions. However, any indication that a loved one is being abused or neglected in a nursing home should not be casually disregarded. If you made the difficult decision of placing a family member in a nursing home, visit IQNursingHomes.com today to learn more about the signs of nursing home abuse. You can also receive a free legal consultation on the site if you suspect your loved one is being subjected to nursing home abuse or neglect.
