What are the signs of elder abuse and neglect?

The kinds of signs to look for of nursing home neglect would be bedsores, that's the number one. Or if your elderly parent is complaining about something that is going on in the nursing home, listen to them because many times what they are telling you is correct. There is a lot of abuse, there's a lot of sexual abuse, there's a lot of neglect, there's a lot of failure to take care of them. The nursing homes don't make more money by doing a better job of taking care of the elderly. I'm John Bisnar, the senior partner of the Bisnar/Chase Law Firm.

Why is elder abuse becoming more common?

Elder abuse in California, and throughout the nation is a huge problem and its getting bigger everyday, it's getting bigger everyday because there are more elders. The companies who run elder facilities are for-profit facilities, and the way they can make more money, is by shorting the staff, so what happens is the amount of staff that is in nursing homes is usually much less then there should be, and much less than it takes to take care of the elderly people.

The question is was it a nursing home resident injury has result by the negligence of the nursing home operator.The first thing one should do is to report the incident to the state nursing home ombudsman. Then the next thing they should do is to confer with the nursing home administrator ink over the complaints on what is going wrong. And the next thing they should do is to contact an attorney, who concentrates in nursing home abuse cases.
