Arizona Nursing Home Abuse FAQs

What are some signs of nursing home abuse?

  • Bruises (particularly which appear in patterns)
  • Bedsores
  • Burns
  • Side effects associated with missed doses of medications
  • Bleeding
  • Broken bones
  • Sprains
  • Cuts and puncture wounds
  • Self-reports of abuse

My elderly relative in a nursing home is suffering from late stage Alzheimer’s disease. Can I trust his or her personal report of abuse at the facility?

If an elderly person reports abuse or neglect, investigate. Just because a senior may not be able to process events as clearly as he or she once did doesn’t mean his or her reports should be disregarded. Look for objective evidence that could confirm or refute the complaints. Obviously, later stages of dementia have significant affects of the reliability of the claims of nursing home neglect in Arizona. However, it is always best to investigate by looking for signs or symptoms of abuse beyond the allegations. Do not assume the claims are baseless without checking for the protection of your loved one.

What are some common forms of nursing home abuse in Arizona?

  • Failure to keep elderly patients clean or to administer proper diet or medications.
  • Restraining elderly patients using physical devices (e.g. strapping them to a bed).
  • Administering sedatives to patients for the pure benefit of nursing home staff.
  • Neglecting to provide adequate stimulation or companionship.

What are some signs that a nursing home may potentially be abusive?

Anecdotal reports of abuse, mistreatment, or misconduct at a facility should be red flags. Other evidence that abuse or neglect may be occurring include: poor general upkeep of the facility and surly, unhelpful, or disinterested staff.
