Nursing Home Abuse Signs Not Limited to Bedsores and Bruising, According to IQNursingHomes.com

(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 06, 2011 ) New York, NY – A detailed description of nursing home abuse signs and symptoms has been outlined by IQNursingHomes.com. The nursing home abuse guide provides information on the physical symptoms of abuse, such as bedsores and bruising, but also outlines the less obvious signs of nursing home abuse. If you have a loved one in an elder care facility, it is important to be aware of the signs of each type of nursing home abuse. To learn more about the signs and symptoms of nursing home abuse, visit http://www.iqnursinghomes.com today.

The nursing home abuse symptoms guide provides an overview of four types of elderly abuse: emotional abuse; physical abuse; sexual abuse; and financial abuse. Although each form of nursing home abuse can lead to serious consequences, symptoms may vary between types. For instance, physical nursing home abuse may be indicated with bedsores (decubitus ulcers), bruises and burns, while sexual abuse may present more specific bodily injuries, such as genital infections and bruising around the breasts. Emotional nursing home abuse may not present any signs of bodily harm; nursing home residents who have been subjected to emotional abuse may appear anxious or withdrawn, suffer from mood swings or exhibit unusual behavior, such as sucking, biting and rocking. Lastly, financial abuse in nursing homes maybe indicated with suspicious changes in wills and other documents, unpaid bills despite financial stability, and unnecessary services, goods or subscriptions.

Commonly, many signs of nursing home abuse go unrecognized or are disregarded as signs of dementia or the frailty that often accompanies old age. In fact, many symptoms of nursing home abuse overlap with these conditions; however, the presence of any sign of nursing home abuse should not be casually dismissed. Visit IQNursingHomes.com today to learn more about the signs of nursing home abuse and to find out how you can protect your loved ones from elderly abuse.
