Preventing nursing home abuse and neglect is crucial for the safety and wellbeing of elderly residents. Here are a few steps you can take to help prevent abuse and neglect:
- Do your research: Research the nursing home before choosing a facility for your loved one. Look for reviews, ratings, and any history of abuse or neglect.
- Visit often: Visit your loved one regularly and at different times of the day. This will help you get to know the staff and observe any changes in your loved one's behavior.
- Be observant: Look for signs of abuse and neglect, such as unexplained injuries or changes in behavior. Report any concerns to the nursing home administration and/or the proper authorities.
- Stay involved: Stay involved in your loved one's care and communicate regularly with the nursing home staff to ensure their needs are being met.
- Stay informed: Stay informed about your loved one's medications, treatments, and care plan. Ask questions and advocate for their rights and wellbeing.
