What is Nursing Home Abuse?
Nursing home abuse and neglect can take many forms, not just physical abuse. It can encompass emotional and sexual abuse, financial exploitation, neglect, self-neglect, and even abandonment. Each type of abuse can have severe physical, psychological, emotional, or financial consequences for the victim.
How is Nursing Home Abuse Proven?
Recognizing signs of abuse or neglect is critical as many elderly adults may not report their abuse due to fear or incapacity. These signs can include withdrawn behavior, unexplained physical injuries such as bruises, cuts, and fractures, bedsores, fear of specific staff members, sudden changes in behavior, unsanitary conditions, unexplained weight loss, and signs of financial exploitation among others.
