Understanding Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
Nursing home abuse refers to any intentional harm, mistreatment, or failure to provide necessary care to a resident. It can take many forms, including:
- Physical abuse: Slapping, hitting, pushing, or the use of unnecessary restraints.
- Emotional abuse: Yelling, insulting, threatening, or isolating the resident.
- Neglect: Failing to provide adequate food, water, hygiene, medication, or supervision.
- Sexual abuse: Any non-consensual sexual contact or exploitation.
- Financial abuse: Stealing, fraud, or unauthorized access to a resident’s finances.
Abuse and neglect can have devastating effects, both physically and emotionally. Recognizing the signs and taking prompt legal action can help protect your loved one and prevent future harm to others.
