What is Nursing Home Abuse?

Nursing home abuse is more common than many people would like to believe. Over 5 million elders in nursing homes suffer abuse annually. Over 44 percent of residents in nursing homes have reported suffering abuse while 90 percent have reported being neglected. 

There are different forms of abuse. These include: 

Physical abuse

This is the form of abuse that many people associate with the term ‘nursing home abuse.’ It involves the intentional infliction of physical injury to the nursing home resident. This may include hitting or physically restraining the resident for no medical reason. 

Neglect

Neglect may not seem as serious as physical abuse but it is still a form of abuse and can have consequences that are just as serious as physical abuse. Neglect occurs when the nursing home staff fails to meet the needs of the nursing home resident. This may include not providing adequate or nutritious meals, not providing assistance to those with mobility issues and thus resulting in bed sores and other complications, or even failing to assist residents with their personal hygiene. 

Sexual abuse

Nursing home residents are often vulnerable. They are easy prey to sexual abuse from nursing home staff members. Sexual abuse may be physical or emotional. It may involve inappropriate touching, forced sexual intercourse, or even being forced to watch pornographic material.
