What Is Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect?
Nursing home abuse refers to the intentional harming of a senior citizen who is in the care of an assisted living facility. Neglect, on the other hand, may not be intentional. It is the breach of a duty of care owed to the elderly resident by the nursing home. Both abuse and neglect can be harmful to the victim. Joel Bryant, the Elder Abuse Attorney, handles cases in Southern California involving many types of nursing home abuse, neglect and negligence.
- Physical abuse
- Verbal abuse
- Emotional or mental abuse
- Sexual abuse
- Financial exploitation
- Isolation
- Improper use of restraints
- Overmedication
- Lack of proper resident care
- Withheld medical care
- Dangerous premises
- Breaching residents’ rights
From verbally berating a nursing home resident to failing to prevent residents from wandering off the premises, a nursing home could be liable for many different types of neglect or abuse. Liability means the nursing home will have to pay for it or one of its employee’s wrongdoings. A successful lawsuit against a nursing home in Redlands could pay for a victim’s related medical expenses, legal fees and out-of-pocket costs, as well as noneconomic damages such as physical pain and mental anguish.
