The Various Types Of Elder Abuse

Elderly, disabled or dependent residents of nursing homes are vulnerable. They are most often entirely reliant upon caregivers for assistance with daily living activities and proper health care. Nursing homes have a duty to meet the standard of care and treat their residents responsibly, humanely, and with due regard for their health and safety. Failing to fulfill these basic responsibilities amounts to nursing home neglect and can be grounds for a lawsuit.

Elder abuse takes various forms in long-term care situations, including:

• Failure to properly monitor the patient
• Failure to turn residents who are bedridden, keep skin clean and otherwise prevent bedsores
• Failure to diagnose and treat injuries and ailments in a timely manner
• Failure to ensure basic well-being, including hydration and nourishment
• Failure to properly clean and care for elderly residents
• Overmedication
• Failure to follow doctors’ orders
• Sexual abuse
• Physical abuse, often evidenced by unexplained bruising
