Examples of Nursing Home Abuse
Since abuse can take a variety of forms, the signs of nursing home abuse may not be immediately noticeable. However, we can help you if you believe your family member is suffering from a variety of forms of nursing home abuse, including:
- Physical Abuse
- Sexual Abuse
- Emotional Abuse
- Neglect
- Medication Errors
- Theft
- Bed Sores, Pressure Sores, Decubitus Ulcers
- Falls
- Physical or Chemical Restraints
- Malnutrition or Dehydration
- Choking
- Clogged Breathing Tubes
- Sepsis
- Wandering and Elopement
- Alzheimer’s and other dementias
- COVID-19 Exposure
Abuse in nursing homes may go unnoticed because of the victim’s hesitation to report the situation out of fear or embarrassment. In addition, loved ones may not know the types or signs of abuse and therefore may not investigate further. As such, it is important to stay aware of the conditions of any nursing home in order to ensure that your loved one stays safe and healthy, and to take immediate action if you suspect that any type of mistreatment is occurring.
