Signs of elder abuse and neglect include:
- Physical injuries: Bed sores, cuts, bruises, scars, and malnourishment are physical symptoms that can result from neglect or abuse. You might also find changes in an elderly victim’s demeanor and personality if they have suffered abuse or neglect at Bayshore on Hilton Head Island.

These symptoms often translate into specific damages.
