What is Considered Nursing Home Abuse?
Nursing home neglect occurs when residents of care facilities do not receive the necessary care that ensures their well-being and safety. In Texas, nursing home neglect is covered under federal and state regulations to protect the elderly and disabled from harm. Recognizing the signs of neglect is crucial, as it helps initiate prompt legal action to address and remedy the situation.
Common signs of neglect include poor hygiene, untreated bedsores or medical conditions, dehydration, and unexplained weight loss. Each of these signals may indicate a lack of adequate care or supervision. Moreover, neglect can take the form of emotional neglect, where residents are ignored or isolated, worsening their mental health.
In Texas, the Department of Aging and Disability Services oversees nursing home facilities. Regular inspections and compliance with guidelines are mandatory to ensure residents' safety and care. San Antonio facilities must meet specific staffing levels and training requirements, reducing the risk of neglect and posing challenges during staffing shortages.
