Recognizing Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect in Montgomery County

The signs of nursing home abuse often appear gradually and can take many forms, including physical abuse, neglect, financial abuse, emotional and psychological abuse, and sexual abuse.

Physical signs of elder abuse

Physical abuse might show up as unexplained bruises, cuts, or broken bones — injuries that staff members can’t properly explain. Some residents experience repeated falls due to lack of proper supervision or safety measures. Others develop bed sores or show signs of malnutrition when basic care needs go unmet.

Behavioral signs of abuse

Your loved one’s behavior might change too. They may become withdrawn, anxious, or afraid — especially when certain staff members are present. Some residents stop eating, refuse medication, or show signs of depression. These changes shouldn’t be dismissed as normal aging or illness.

Signs of financial abuse or exploitation

Financial abuse leaves different traces. You might notice unusual bank withdrawals, changed beneficiaries on insurance policies, or missing personal belongings. Some residents are pressured to modify their wills or sign documents they don’t understand.

Medical neglect

Medical neglect can be particularly dangerous in nursing homes. Missed medications, skipped treatments, or ignored doctor’s orders contribute to declining health. Residents might develop infections that go untreated or experience complications from poorly managed chronic conditions. Some facilities fail to provide proper nutrition or hydration, leading to rapid health deterioration.

The Pennsylvania Department of Health requires nursing homes to maintain specific care standards. When facilities cut corners on staffing, training, or proper care protocols, residents suffer. At Munley Law, we know what proper nursing home care should look like, and we know how to identify when standards aren’t being met.

Nursing Home Residents’ Rights in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania law clearly spells out the rights to which all nursing home residents are entitled. Nursing home residents are legally protected from discrimination based on gender, race, religion, disability status, and more. Residents have the right to be informed about their healthcare plan and to make decisions about their care. They must not be subject to physical, emotional, or any other form of violence or abusive treatment, and they should be treated with dignity and respect. They have the right to privacy and to choose their daily schedule, decide what activities to join, and control their own money. They can see visitors, make phone calls, and meet privately with family, among many other protected rights.

And, if a resident or their family believes they have been mistreated at a long term care facility, they have the right to file a complaint and seek justice for their damages. But time limits apply to nursing home abuse cases in Pennsylvania. Generally, you have two years from when you discovered the abuse to take legal action.

Money can’t undo the harm your loved one suffered. But it can pay for better care, cover medical bills, and help prevent other families from going through the same thing. More importantly, holding nursing homes responsible forces them to improve their care.
