Phoenix Elder Neglect Attorney
Elder neglect is responsible for over 50% of all nursing home abuse and elder abuse cases. It occurs when a caregiver neglects to perform mandatory obligations to an elder that include: adequate food, water, clothing, shelter, medicine, personal safety and personal hygiene. Nursing home facilities are required under Arizona law to provide residents with a safe environment with adequate and ethical healthcare. When they fail to do so, it can lead to very serious illnesses, injuries and even wrongful death.
The following are signs of elder neglect:
- Elder’s report of neglect
- Bedsores
- Unsafe or unsanitary living conditions ( bugs, fleas, soiled bedding)
- Left dirty and unbathed
- Malnutrition
- Improper nutrition
- Ignoring a special diet
- Extreme weight loss
- Dehydration
- Untreated health problems
- Not calling physician when necessary
- Allowing elder to wander around without supervision
