• Physical Assault and Physical Abuse of an Elderly Person like food and water deprivation, physical punishment and abuse, restraints and other horrific conduct;
• Financial Abuse; for example the illegal or fraudulent taking an elderly individual’s money;
• Decubitus Ulcers; A decubitus ulcer is a pressure sore and is commonly referred to as bedsore. These bedsores can range in severity from a very mild pink coloration of the skin, which is usually not harmful and permanent, to a very deep wound extending to and sometimes through a bone and then on into internal organs and cause total body infection. In long-term care facilities such as nursing homes, bedsores are generally considered preventable and are largely seen as direct proof of neglect. In Georgia, our attorney helps the elderly and their families recover damages for such neglect;
• General Medical Neglect; Signs of neglect include not only bedsores, but, malnutrition and dehydration & ailments are also direct evidence of neglect. Proper nursing home care never includes malnutrition.
