Nursing Home Abuse
When elderly adults can no longer live safely on their own they may move from their residence into a nursing home or assisted living facility in order to have professional care available at all times. Nursing home or assisted living facility employees are supposed to provide quality care to all residents. Unfortunately, nursing home abuse is a very real problem in the United States and hundreds of thousands of nursing home residents endure some form of abuse or neglect each year.

Type of Nursing Home Abuse
Nursing home abuse can be very difficult to deal with, especially if your loved one has suffered serious physical or emotional trauma. The majority of nursing home abuse cases go unreported because residents feel powerless or concerned about how they will be treated after allegations are made. Allowing abuse or negligence to continue unchecked is unnecessary and creates the possibility that others will suffer the same fate. If you suspect any of the following, it may be appropriate to speak with an attorney:
- Neglect
- Physical Abuse
- Sexual Abuse
- Psychological Abuse
