What Is Nursing Home Abuse?
There are several different types of nursing home abuse that can negatively impact the lives of residents, including:
Physical Abuse
When nursing home staff deliberately harm residents by punching, hitting, kicking, or engaging in any other form of physical harm, you can accuse that facility and its staff of physical abuse.
Financial Abuse
Nursing home residents have the right to control their own finances. Facilities that misuse residents’ funds, misrepresent the cost of a resident’s care to exploit their family, or steal money or property from residents can face accusations of financial abuse.
Emotional Abuse
Emotional abuse can be difficult to document. Deliberate attempts to isolate a resident from their family or efforts to demoralize or upset a resident can constitute emotional abuse when these behaviors have a concrete impact on a resident’s well-being. You can work with our experienced team to determine how to identify emotional abuse.
Sexual Abuse
Nursing home staff members and other representatives may not engage in sexual acts with residents. Residents who fall victim to nonconsensual sexual acts or mistreatment can take legal action against their abusers, as can family members representing residents who may not fully understand what’s happened to them.
Neglect
Nursing home staff members should make every effort to ensure that residents get necessary medical care, proper nutrition, and hygienic assistance as appropriate. Staff members who deliberately fail to help the people in their care can be held accountable when their neglect leads to a resident’s decline.
