Elder Abuse: Signs of Physical Abuse

I’m Scott Kuboff an attorney and patient advocate with the law firm of Ibold & O'Brien. I help my clients recover money for their injuries, harms, and losses caused by the carelessness of others.

Let's talk today about elder abuse and how to identify the signs of elder abuse so we can put an end to it.

Here are common physical signs of elder abuse:

1)      They are never seen outside the house or the mailbox is full

2)      Sudden weight loss or deterioration in health

3)      Decline in, or otherwise, poor hygiene

4)      Shrinks back if approached or otherwise scared and uneasy

5)      Over or under medicating

6)      Unexplained bruises, cuts, wounds, welts, burns, or blood
