Nursing home abuse can occur in many different ways. You may have a right to compensation any time a trusted caregiver violates your right to be treated with dignity and respect.
The most common types of nursing home abuse include:
In some cases, the victim may experience multiple types of abuse in a long-term care facility. Our lawyers in Dallas are here to help you fight to hold the responsible parties accountable.
It’s important to pay close attention to any signs that your loved one may be a victim of nursing home abuse or neglect. The exact signs can vary widely from case to case. They’ll depend both on the circumstances and the form of nursing home abuse involved.
Physical abuse typically involves hitting, kicking, slapping, or otherwise physically harming a nursing home resident.
Some signs of physical abuse include:
Physical abuse can also include the improper use of restraints. If you notice bed sores or bruises or cuts around your loved one’s wrists or ankles, it’s possible that a caregiver may be using improper restraints to keep them immobilized.
Sexual abuse is any type of unwanted sexual contact. It can include outright rape or sexual assault. Sexual abuse also occurs when someone forces a resident to watch sexual activity.
STDs, genital injuries, depression, fear, and changes in behavior are all signs of sexual abuse.
Your loved one could be a victim of abuse even if they never suffer any physical harm. Emotional abuse can be devastating.
Emotional abuse can also take on many forms, including:
There are many different signs of emotional abuse, such as:
Many victims of emotional abuse are afraid to report the abuse. Still, some studies show that emotional abuse represents about 11.8% of nursing home abuse cases.
Nursing home residents are also particularly vulnerable to financial abuse.
Financial exploitation may include:
It’s important to pay close attention to any unexplained or unusual financial transactions.
Nursing home neglect occurs any time the nursing home fails to provide a resident with proper care. Some instances of nursing home neglect are passive. It can happen because of understaffing or overworked nursing home employees.
Other types of neglect are active and happen when a staff member intentionally withholds necessary care.
Some signs of nursing home negligence include:
