Phoenix Physical Elder Abuse Attorney
Many elders fall victim to abuse each year at the hands of caregivers within nursing home facilities. For every case reported it is said that five more go unreported. Many of which include physical abuse by entrusted caregivers leading to serious injury and in many cases even wrongful death. Physical abuse occurs within a nursing home facility when a trusted caregiver causes physical harm to an elder who is under their care.
Signs of physical abuse include, but are not limited to:
- Unexplained bruises, welts, scars,
- Broken bones, fractures, sprains, or dislocations
- Drug overdose
- Failure to take medication regularly
- Broken eyeglasses or frames
- Signs of being restrained, such as rope marks on wrists
- Changes in personality or behavior in the elder
- Caregiver’s refusal to allow you to see the elder alone
