Signs of Nursing Home Abuse You Shouldn’t Ignore
Placing a loved one in a nursing home is a difficult decision. You expect care, dignity, and safety. But when those expectations are broken by neglect or abuse, it’s time to speak up.
At The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm, LLC, we help Ohio families recognize the signs of mistreatment—and take legal steps to protect their loved ones.
Red Flags to Watch For
Not all signs of abuse are obvious. These common symptoms may signal that something is wrong:
- Bedsores, infections, or poor hygiene
- Unexplained bruises or broken bones
- Sudden weight loss, dehydration, or malnutrition
- Emotional withdrawal, fear, or depression
- Missed medications or delayed medical care
If any of these sound familiar, don’t wait. Ohio law protects residents in care facilities under Revised Code 3721.13.
