Nursing Home Abuse

There is presently an epidemic amongst the nation’s senior population. In the country’s assisted living facilities and nursing homes, almost ten percent of seniors suffer some type of elder abuse every year (roughly 150,000 seniors). Sadly, many incidents of abuse go unreported. Individual’s senior loved ones are at serious risk of elder nursing home abuse every day.

Types of Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Physical abuse. Residents suffer physical abuse when the victim experiences harm due to physical force being applied to them, such as scratching, hitting, biting, shoving, or even inappropriate use of restraints. As compared with other types of nursing home abuse, physical abuse has the most obvious warning signs. This type of abuse can be a singular occurrence or it could be repetitive.
Emotional abuse. When caregivers inflict emotional abuse on a resident, it amounts to elder abuse. Emotional abuse is also referred to as psychological abuse. Emotional abuse may come in the form of humiliation, terrorizing, intimidation, ridicule, or even ignoring a resident. Other forms of emotional abuse are scapegoating, demeaning behavior, and blaming.
Sexual abuse. When non-consensual sexual contact is made, sexual elder abuse occurs. In cases of sexual abuse, it is possible that emotional and physical abuse also plays a part. Often when residents are sexually abused, manipulation tactics may include coercion, trickery, manipulation, or the resident may be forced into sexual acts.
Financial abuse. Theft of personal property and money are typical types of financial abuse. It is financial abuse when a caregiver employs tactics such as applying pressure or tricking a resident into disclosing confidential financial information such as credit card numbers, bank account information. Financial abuse can also occur when a resident is persuaded to sign a trust, will or deed.
Resident neglect, also referred to as nursing home negligence, occurs when an elder does not receive the emotional, physical, or medical attention they need. In some cases, neglect can escalate to emotional or physical abuse.
