Types of Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
Nursing home neglect is the failure to provide a patient with the goods and services necessary to prevent physical, mental, or emotional harm. Nursing home abuse is the intentional infliction of injury, including confinement, intimidation, or punishment that results in physical, mental, or emotional harm.
Some signs and symptoms can indicate physical abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect. Knowing what to look for can help friends and relatives identify when something is wrong. These signs include:
- Physical abuse. Signs of physical abuse include personal injuries such as open wounds, cuts, burns, and areas of skin discoloration. Symptoms may include changes in a loved one’s behavior, weight loss, or personal hygiene.
- Mental and emotional abuse. Mental and emotional abuse may not exhibit the visible outward signs of physical abuse. However, symptoms of emotional or psychological abuse include withdrawal, unwillingness to communicate, and unusual behavior.
- Neglect. Signs of neglect are dehydration, malnutrition, pressure sores, and lack of personal hygiene. Symptoms like begging for food and soiled bedding and clothes may appear.
- Sexual Abuse. Signs of sexual abuse include both physical signs (bruises, vaginal bleeding, stained clothing) and psychological signs (depression, withdrawal, agitation).
