Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer in Marietta

Your loved one might be a victim of nursing home abuse if they show any of the following signs:

• Unexplained bruises or injuries
• Sudden and unexplained weight loss
• Poor hygiene
• Bedsores
• Withdrawal
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Sudden changes in financial status
• Missing personal belongings
• Dehydration
• Malnutrition
• Frequent infections

Often, victims may not be able to communicate the abuse they are experiencing because, chances are, they are afraid of retaliation when they’re no longer surrounded by their families.

Victims of nursing home abuse can seek compensation for various damages. These include but are not limited to:

• Medical expenses
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Costs of relocating to a safer facility
• Replacement of lost personal property

Your loved one has several rights to ensure their safety and well-being in a nursing home. These include the right to:

• be free from abuse and neglect;
• receive adequate and appropriate medical care;
• be treated with dignity and respect;
• participate in their care plan;
• privacy and confidentiality;
• report complaints without fear of retaliation; and
• manage their own finances or have a trusted person do so.

If any of these rights are violated, you may have a valid case against the responsible party.
