Types of nursing home abuse
There are many different types of nursing home abuse and irrespective of which sort of abuse you suspect or your relative is being subjected to, we suggest that you talk to one of our wonderful and sagacious legal professionals to ensure that your loved one is safe guarded from further abuse and so that you can strike back at the nursing home for employing this type of character.
Some of the common types of nursing home abuse we see in the Gem State are as follows:
- Verbal abuse – As the name suggests, this kind of abuse would involve name calling, profanity, mocking or disrespecting the resident, yelling at them, etc. Verbal abuse is how abuse usually starts and can later develop into full blown physical abuse.
- Physical abuse – Manhandling, pushing, beating, assault with an object, and so forth are all considered physical abuse. There have been plenty of cases where a caregiver has slapped a nursing home resident and this can also serve as grounds for physical abuse.
- Financial abuse – Other residents or nursing home staff members may steal or force the victim into giving them money or possessions. This is known as financial abuse.
- Bed sores – If you notice bed sores on your loved on the next time you visit them in a nursing home, it is a strong indication of nursing home abuse.
