Watch Out for Nursing Home Employees Who Display Abusive Qualities

It would be great if we could automatically tell who was a good person and who was not, but we all know it doesn’t work that way.  There’s no way to tell if someone is going to be a nursing home abuser or not, but there is a list of qualities that fit many nursing home abusers.  Some of them involve personality and others involve circumstances.  Look through these and keep them in mind next time you visit your loved one’s nursing home.

•  Experiencing financial problems

•  Becomes easily angered or frustrated

•  Treats residents with disrespect

•  Doesn’t follow procedures

•  Doesn’t like to be involved with family members

•  Avoids any extra care if they can get away with it

•  Doesn’t document all events in nursing home

•  Asks to work at night when not many people are around

•  Doesn’t like to work with other people who may observe abuse
