LONG ISLAND NURSING HOME ABUSE ATTORNEY

Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect in New York City

Making the choice to place an elderly loved one in the care of a nursing home or assisted living facility is difficult enough; realizing that the facility you trusted to care for your loved one has not only failed to provide an acceptable level of treatment and care but has actually caused your loved one harm is devastating. Unfortunately, this is all too common. Nursing homes across the U.S., including in New York, frequently mistreat and neglect residents, leading to serious injuries and, in the worst cases, wrongful death.

If you suspect that your elderly loved one has been the victim of nursing home abuse or neglect, take immediate steps to ensure your loved one’s safety. If necessary, call 911 and have them removed from the facility. Then, reach out to the Long Island nursing home abuse attorney at the Law Office of Joseph J. Perrini, III.

Since 1996, our law firm in Long Island, NY has been fighting for victims of abuse and negligence throughout New York City and the surrounding areas. We are committed to seeking justice for you, your loved one, and your family, and we have recovered tens of millions of dollars in compensation for clients like you.

What Are Signs of Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect?

Because elderly individuals cannot always advocate for themselves, it is important that family members and loved ones know the signs of nursing home abuse and neglect.

Remember, “nursing home abuse” is a catchall phrase that refers to several different types of abuse, including:

  • Physical abuse
  • Verbal abuse
  • Mental abuse
  • Emotional abuse
  • Social abuse
  • Sexual abuse
  • And financial abuse

Nursing home neglect also constitutes “abuse” and could serve as grounds for legal action.

Just as there are many types of nursing home abuse, there are many signs that nursing home abuse and neglect may be occurring. These signs can be physical in nature, but they may also appear as changes in mood or behavior, changes to a financial situation, and otherwise.

Some of the most common signs of nursing home abuse and neglect include:

  • Unexplained injuries, such as cuts, scrapes, or bruises
  • Bedsores, or pressure ulcers
  • Falls and other preventable accidents
  • Failure to provide medical treatment for injured residents
  • Inadequate or insufficient medical care
  • Medication errors
  • Unexplained death
  • Poor nutrition, malnutrition, or dehydration
  • Unusual changes in mood or behavior, such as increased crying or irritability
  • Apparent fear in the presence of certain caregivers
  • Unsanitary conditions, such as soiled clothing or bedsheets
  • Wandering
  • Elopement
  • Unexplained withdrawals from bank accounts
  • Changes to a will, trust, power of attorney, or similar document

If you notice any signs of abuse or neglect, and you believe your loved one may be in immediate danger, call 911 or contact local law enforcement right away. You can also report suspected abuse to the New York Bureau of Adult Services’ Adult Protective Services agency.
