The incidence of elder abuse in Georgia nursing homes is a growing problem. Each day, hundreds of members of our elder population in and around Atlanta and Athens, Georgia are victimized. If your loved ones are victims of neglect or abuse in a nursing or residential long term facility, there are probably other residents in the facility who are also being neglected or abused; in fact there is probably a continuing pattern of neglect at the facility. In each nursing home negligence case we handle, we carefully study the facility's history of violations of both federal and state law to determine if there is pattern of neglect. We also focus on staffing and training deficiencies, which are often the root cause of nursing home injuries.

Signs of Neglect and Abuse

It can sometimes be difficult to determine whether or not your loved ones are suffering from abuse. Whether the staff isn’t cooperating or your family members are unable or unwilling to talk about their treatment, there are signs to look for that may indicate abuse. If you notice any of the following, contact the Texas nursing home abuse attorneys at Terry Bryant immediately.

Untreated bedsores
Open wounds, cuts, bruises, or welts
Torn clothing or broken personal items
Bruises in a pattern that suggests restraints
Excessive and sudden weight loss
Fleas, lice, or dirt on the resident or in the resident’s room
Abnormally pale complexion
Fecal or urine odors
Poor personal hygiene or other unattended health problems

Generally, Georgia nursing home malpractice liability victims have two years to file a nursing home malpractice liability claim. Certain long term care malpractice situations have different time frames, so please contact us for a free consultation as soon as possible.
