Proactive Measures
Nursing home abuse and neglect, although common, is not inevitable. You can take certain steps to ensure your elderly loved one does not fall prey to the abusive and neglectful conditions found in certain nursing homes in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and California.
Here are some general guidelines family members follow when considering a nursing home:
- Before you place your elderly loved one in the facility:
- Research the nursing home on the internet and by contacting your local Ombudsman office. (See our list of resources).
- Make an appointment to speak with the facility's administrator.
- Take a tour of the facility.
- Speak directly with residents of the facility.
- Contact several existing residents' family members and ask their opinion.
- Observe the residents behavior and moods.
- Look for warning signs such as
- insufficient numbers of care providers
- incompetent or indifferent care providers
- lack of cleanliness
- See if there have been any complaints/law suits filed
- After you've placed your elderly loved one in the facility:
- Thanks for your patience as we update this list.
