Many of us think of physical injuries when we hear the term “abuse.” However, several types of abuse can happen in a nursing home or assisted living facility, such as:
When abuse occurs, some older adults are unable or unwilling to communicate the details of what happened. Some may feel helpless and ashamed about the abuse, while others lack the ability to fully understand the situation. This is why it’s vital to look for signs that your family member could be the victim of abuse or neglect.
According to the National Institute on Aging1, warning signs of nursing home abuse and elder abuse may include:
Warning signs of abuse or neglect can often be subtle or not apparent right away. You should try to talk to your family member to understand what might be going on and how you can help.

However, it can be more difficult in these cases because the nurses and staff do not write down what they have done wrong. It takes a skilled attorney to figure out what is missing from the medical records in order to prove that negligence caused the injuries, suffering, or wrongful death.

While nothing can erase the trauma of abuse or neglect, obtaining a monetary settlement can provide the financial resources to help your loved one move forward in life with a new, safer long-term care facility. Bringing a claim will also deter these nursing homes and nurses from injuring others in the future.
Victims of nursing home abuse or neglect suffer in so many ways. Apart from the physical damages that occur, many deal with pain, suffering, and emotional anguish resulting from the abuse and are at a higher risk for suicide2. These victims deserve compensation in all the ways they suffer.
