What is Nursing Home Neglect and Elder Abuse?
Nursing home neglect and elder abuse occur when staff members fail to provide the appropriate care for elderly residents or when they intentionally cause harm. This can take many forms, including:
- Physical Abuse – Hitting, slapping, pushing, or inflicting physical harm on an elderly person.
- Emotional Abuse – Verbal threats, humiliation, or emotional manipulation that causes distress or psychological harm.
- Neglect – Failure to provide necessary care, such as withholding food, water, medication, or basic hygiene.
- Sexual Abuse – Any form of non-consensual sexual activity or advances made by staff or other residents.
- Financial Abuse – Exploiting an elderly person’s financial resources through fraud, theft, or coercion.
- Medication Errors – Overmedication, under medication, or improper administration of medication leading to health complications.
- Failure to Prevent Falls or Injuries – Inadequate supervision or failure to implement necessary safety protocols that result in preventable falls or other injuries.
Signs of Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
It can sometimes be difficult to detect abuse or neglect, especially if the elderly person is unable or afraid to speak out. However, there are several warning signs that could indicate mistreatment:
- Unexplained injuries or bruises
- Sudden weight loss or malnutrition
- Poor hygiene or unsanitary living conditions
- Withdrawal, depression, or sudden changes in behavior
- Bedsores or pressure ulcers
- Financial discrepancies or missing funds
- Reluctance to speak about certain caregivers or the facility
- Unsanitary or unsafe living conditions
If you notice any of these signs or suspect your loved one is being abused or neglected in a nursing home, it’s essential to take action immediately. Contact Spencer Injury Law to speak with one of our experienced nursing home abuse lawyers.
