With an increase in the elderly population comes an increase in the need for nursing homes, in-home caregivers, and assisted living facilities.

The elderly population in the United States is on the rise and is growing faster than any other age group. As our loved ones grow older, it is not all that uncommon for some of them to need assistance from others, especially if they can no longer care for themselves. With an increase in the elderly population comes an increase in the need for nursing homes, in-home caregivers, and assisted living facilities. In California, it is projected that those most likely to need nursing homes or other assisted care will nearly double by 2030. As more people enter nursing homes and other long-term care facilities, we will likely see an unfortunate increase in incidences of abuse and neglect by caregivers.
Nursing home and elder abuse is not unusual in California. In 2009, approximately thirteen percent of all complaints to the California Office of the State Long Term Care Ombudsman involved gross neglect, abuse, or exploitation, which was over twice the national rate of five percent. Abuse can take the form of sexual exploitation, financial extortion, neglect, and lack of adequate care. Abuse can result in serious illnesses, infections, broken bones, malnutrition, dehydration, and even death. Because so often the victims of this abuse cannot speak for themselves, our California personal injury attorneys can provide them with a voice, and can make sure their rights are adequately protected.

Even if your loved one can’t communicate with you or won’t talk to you about any negative experiences with caregivers, there are certain signs that may be indicative of abuse. If your loved one jumps or cringes at sudden movements or loud noises when they never did so in the past, these behaviors could be evidence that your loved one is being physically, mentally, or even sexually abused. In addition, sudden anxiety, mumbling, and rocking back and forth could be signs of mistreatment. Moreover, unexplained bruises and dirty, torn, or bloody clothing are common among abuse victims. Other warning signs that you may want to watch for include:
