Lack of training, inadequate staffing, and failure to complete background checks often create situations that put nursing home residents at risk. However, it is not uncommon for incidents of elder abuse to go unreported. Many people are ashamed of being in a position where someone can take advantage of them. Some of the common signs of nursing home abuse include:

• Sudden changes in behavior
• Open wounds, decubitus ulcer, or bed sores
• Dry skin, abrasions, or unusual bruising
• Unexpected weight loss, burns, or broken bones
• Withdrawn or agitated behavior
• Malnutrition or dehydration
• Bone fractures
• Wandering off the premises
