Types of Abuse

When we think of abuse, we may only be thinking of physical attacks or assault; however, abuse covers a wide variety of negative treatment. The following are the types of abuse that may occur at a nursing home:

  • Physical Abuse - Obviously this is the most obvious form of abuse, however some nursing home abuse is done in a way that isn't visible. Striking certain areas of the body, or hiding bruises may occur so that even visiting family members may not know if physical abuse was done.

  • Neglect - This is a much more difficult form of abuse to detect, because it is subtle Neglect may include:

  • Physical neglect: disregard for the necessities of daily living

  • Medical neglect: lack of care for existing medical problems

  • Failure to prevent dehydration, malnutrition, and bed sores

  • Failure to assist in personal hygiene, or in the provision of food, clothing, or shelter

  • Unsanitary and unclean conditions

  • Infections

  • Failure to protect from health and safety hazards

  • Poor access to medical services

  • Verbal/Emotional Abuse - If an elderly person is in a nursing home, they may be harshly treated verbally, called names, taken advantage of, etc. Our personal injury attorneys rigorously defense those who have suffered verbal abuse or emotional abuse at a nursing home.
