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.
