There are more than 1.5 million people currently living in nursing homes in the United States. The objective of a nursing home is to assist in the care of elderly and disabled people and provide them with a safe and healthy environment. There are many State and Federal laws that prevent occupants of nursing homes from abuse and neglect. Unfortunately, accusations of abuse and neglect in nursing homes and assisted living homes are becoming more and more common. If you suspect that your loved one has suffered from abuse or neglect please contact a nursing home neglect attorney.

Some examples of Maryland nursing home abuse include:

assault
assault and battery
chemical restraint (controlling with the use of drugs)

Some examples of nursing home neglect include:

lack of adequate overall care

Some signs of nursing home abuse include injuries that cannot be explained, drastic attitude or emotional changes, bedsores, sexually transmitted diseases, or an increase or decrease in appetite. Although these signs do not prove that your loved one has been the victim of abuse, it is a good idea to investigate any strange behavior that your elderly loved one is exhibiting to help determine if he or she has been abused.
