Understanding Nursing Home Abuse And Negligence

Nursing homes are supposed to provide constant care and monitoring to our senior loved ones. When those facilities and their staffs fail in that responsibility, our elderly loved ones face grave risks to their health and well-being.

Common Types Of Nursing Home Abuse And Neglect

Common ways in which seniors can be harmed in a nursing home include:

  • Falling — Nursing homes have a responsibility to conduct fall risk assessments and provide proper fall protection. Falls can result in subdural hematomas, closed-head injuries, broken bones and even fatalities.
  • Malnutrition — How much a senior is eating needs to be tracked, especially for those who may have difficulty communicating.
  • Dehydration — Dehydration can quickly take a toll on the health of a senior.
  • Bedsores — Failing to move a senior regularly can result in bedsores. Untreated bedsores can become seriously infected.
  • Overmedication/medication errors—Overmedication can be used to keep seniors docile.
  • Psychological abuse — Verbal or emotional abuse may not cause physical scars, but it is still abuse.
  • Sexual abuse — Staff members sometimes abuse residents or fail to prevent abuse by other residents.
  • Wandering off — Lack of supervision can often lead to wandering that results in injury.

Nursing homes should keep clear records regarding the care that was provided to your loved one. We can help you secure and examine those records for evidence that abuse or neglect occurred.
