Nursing home abuse is a severe problem stemming from understaffed nursing facilities. 

If you suspect nursing home abuse, look for the following signs of abuse or neglect:

• Unexplained bruises or skin lacerations
• Physical restraints
• Bedsores
• Exposure of breasts or genitals
• Inadequate treatment of existing medical conditions
• Use of sedatives
• Unhygienic conditions
• Nervousness
• Emotional sensitivity
• Unusual reservedness

Caregivers are put under a lot of stress and are held highly responsible for the health, safety, and well-being of the elderly, disabled, and other children and adults. Caregivers can "Snap," losing their cool-minded collectivity and potentially harm a resident physically, emotionally, financially, etc.
