Shear Neglect: A Very Common Source of Elder Abuse

Written by Adam Peck Category: Elder Law January 26th, 2013 1 min read

Probably the most common type of elder abuse is shear neglect. This can easily be visible by bad hygiene, uncleanliness, and recurring illness. Watch for bed sores, abrasions, infection, weight loss, and an unkempt and unclean environment. Luckily neglect can usually be avoided by taking the time to do your research thoroughly when choosing the right nursing home. You can pay attention to the demeanor and health of the other tenants as well if you’re concerned that something might be going on. Don’t hesitate to ask about their living conditions. You might be surprised with what they have to say. Contact Los Angeles Elder Abuse and Neglect Attorney Steven C.
