Protecting the Rights of Sunrise Manor Residents
Sunrise Manor may be home to many young individuals, but several of these individuals have sick and ailing parents who have had no choice but to move into a nursing home facility. The decision to take this course of action isn’t an easy one, and it’s even more troubling for the children and loved ones of these individuals since it’s no secret that nursing home abuse is all too common in this nation.
Types of Nursing Home Abuse
Older individuals may suffer one or more types of abuse often experienced in nursing homes:
- Negligence: A caregiver or worker may refuse or fail to provide adequate care for a resident (i.e. failure to provide food and water, medication, personal hygiene assistance)
- Physical Abuse: A caregiver inflicts a level of physical force which results in pain, impairment, and injury
- Emotional Abuse: A caregiver may threaten, insult, or ignore a nursing home resident
- Abandonment: A caregiver deserts a resident after agreeing to provide care for them
- Financial Exploitation: A caregiver is using a resident’s funds or assets inappropriately (i.e. cashing a resident’s check without the resident’s permission, coercing a resident into signing a contract)
Signs of Nursing Home Abuse
The elderly are a target of abuse because they are often too weak and frail to fight back or may be incapable of speaking up. Loved ones can arm themselves with the information they need to begin to look for signs of abuse so that they can protect the health and rights of their loved one.
When assessing your loved one, check for:
- Sudden inexplicable changes in behavior
- If they seem withdrawn or unresponsive
- If they have become upset or agitated
- Unexplained bruises, lacerations or injuries
- Untreated bed sores or injuries
- Signs of unsanitary living conditions or is evidence of poor personal hygiene
- Incidences of the nursing home refused to allow you to have time alone with your loved one
