Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer

Nursing home abuse is an inexcusable situation that is unfortunately far too common in today's society. Abuse includes more than physical abuse (hitting, slapping, restraining, etc.) alone. It spans a gamut of behavior in which the resident is treated improperly either through aggression or neglect.

Aside from physical abuse, nursing home abuse may include sexual abuse, emotional abuse or neglect (such as bullying, taunting, insulting, and abandonment), and a variety of physical or medical neglect. If a resident is not eating enough, the home is responsible for ensuring that proper nutrition is reached. Untreated bedsores and new conditions not reported to doctors are other signs of medical or physical neglect or malpractice.

In addition, some staff members may take advantage of a person's cognitive aging by seeking to benefit financially from residents or patients. Forcing or convincing someone to sign legal documents or share money is known as financial abuse and can also be prosecuted in a personal injury nursing home abuse lawsuit.
