There are about thirty-four million people over the age of 65 and nearly one
in twenty will require some form of assisted living. Unfortunately, our senior
citizens are becoming victims of intentional abuse and neglect within nursing
homes and assisted living facilities.
Nursing home abuse occurs when a resident is abused or neglected in a nursing
home resulting in deaths, falls, broken bones, malnutrition, dehydration, decubitus
ulcers and residents wandering off the nursing home premises and injuring themselves.
If a nursing home fails to give care in a professional and kind manner, and
you or your loved one has suffered, you may be entitled to compensation.
Institutional abuse can come in many forms, including physical, sexual, and
emotional abuse. Physical abuse can be caused by hitting, unreasonably restraining,
inappropriately drugging, refusing to transport, burning, and almost any other
type of abusive physical contact imaginable.
Nursing Home Abuse may include:
- Bed Sores
- Broken Bones
- Malnutrition
- Physical Abuse
- Verbal Abuse
- Slip & Fall Injuries
- Use of restraints for discipline or convenience
- Negligence by doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, therapists, administrators
