Protecting loved ones in assisted living from negligence requires vigilance. One of the key ways to discover potential elder abuse is by visiting frequently and at varied times to observe the level of care directly.

Remember, neglect is more common than you think. Look for subtle cues beyond obvious injuries, such as these types of behaviors:

• Changes in mood or withdrawal
• Unexplained injuries like bruises or fractures
• Poor hygiene or soiled clothing
• Ignoring obvious changes in condition
• Call buttons placed out of reach

To protect your loved one, meticulously document any concerns right away, noting the date, time of day, and specific details of any concerning factors. Engage with staff regularly to foster consistent and open communication, and ask about your loved one's care plans.

If you suspect neglect, immediately report it to facility management and relevant authorities. Consider consulting with an elder care attorney at @Justice For Our Parents to understand your legal options and ensure your loved one's safety. Prioritize their well-being by staying informed and proactive.
