Preventing Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect

In order to prevent nursing home abuse and neglect, it is important that people who are placing their elderly and dependant loved ones in homes exercise caution, care, and vigilantly ask the right questions.  People should always take their time to familiarize themselves with the nursing home, the nursing home staff, nursing home administrators, and nursing home policies before deciding to place their loved ones in homes.  By taking the time to investigate the staff and conditions within the nursing home, people have a good chance of detecting possible threats that could harm their loved ones, and could prevent abuse or neglect altogether.

Some things people should take the time to find out before allowing their elderly or dependant loved ones in any nursing home are:

• Does the nursing home have video monitoring in the halls and patients rooms (video monitoring assures that nursing home residents will be watched and others will be watched while interacting with the residents, which could prevent possible abuse)?
• Does the nursing home have medical directors and physicians who supervise medical staff and the medical procedures residents receive?
• Does the nursing home have licensed nurses and/or vocational nurses on staff?
• Does the nursing home employ enough staff to sufficiently provide for the care, treatment, and supervision of every patient?
• Does the nursing home appear to be clean?
• Are the nursing home physicians, supervisors, and administrators accessible and willing to address concerns?
• Have incidents of abuse or neglect occurred in the past and how were they handled?

By looking into these matters and asking the right questions, people can ensure that their loved ones will receive the care treatment, and supervision they deserve.
