Types of Nursing Home Abuse
Your loved one has the right to respect, dignity and privacy, appropriate medical care and assistance with activities of daily living. Nursing home staff has a duty to provide a safe, healthy environment to residents free from:
- Neglect in providing medical care, feeding, hygiene and assistance with daily tasks
- Physical abuse, such as striking, restraining, aggressively handling or otherwise inflicting physical injuries on the resident
- Emotional abuse, including berating, isolating or yelling at the resident
- Financial abuse, which may involve manipulating a senior into leaving assets in a will or stealing funds from her or his account
Signs of Elder Abuse and Neglect
Sadly, elder abuse and neglect often goes undetected. Seniors are sometimes too intimidated, scared or embarrassed to tell anyone about the abuse and the corporate entities typically throw up a veil of secrecy to protect their own interests. But, you can be your loved one’s eyes, ears and voice by diligently looking for signs of abuse and reporting your suspicions to authorities -- then contacting a Jackson elder abuse attorney. Signs of abuse and neglect include:
- Unexplained bruises
- Repeated falls
- Bed sores
- Untreated infections
- Undiagnosed medical conditions
- Severe weight loss
- Poor hygiene
- Soiled clothing or linens
- Anxiety and depression
- Fear when staff approaches
- Overmedication
