Nursing home abuse
An aggressive nursing home abuse lawyer in Alabama, Georgia and Washington, D.C.
Nursing home abuse is an increasing concern in America, as there are millions of elderly living in nursing homes today. Though the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services sets strict regulations for nursing homes, it is not uncommon for nursing home staff to take advantage of the residents' vulnerability.
Elderly abuse in nursing homes can take many forms. Primarily, it is an act or omission by a caregiver or professional staff member that causes harm to a nursing home resident. Sometimes it can result in a wrongful death case. Nursing home abuse is a criminal act.
Nursing home abuse can be:
- Neglect to provide necessary care, food, water, medicine, clothing or necessities for living
- Physical or sexual abuse
- Emotional abuse such as threats, humiliation, verbal assault and isolation
- Theft
- Abuse of court-appointed roles such as guardianship or power of attorney
