Nursing home abuse can take various forms. The most common forms of nursing home abuse include:

Neglect

This form of abuse can go unnoticed for long periods. This is because the abuse is not physical. Neglect involves failing to or refusing to provide nursing home residents with the care they need. This includes failure to provide medication, therapy, treatments, or nutrition. It may also include leaving the resident unattended and alone for extended periods.

Physical abuse

This type of abuse can often be recognized through physical symptoms. This form of abuse is where the nursing home resident is attacked physically. This may include kicking and hitting. You may notice symptoms such as unexplained bruises, broken or fractured bones, lacerations, changes in behavior, and anxiety.

Sexual abuse

This is a form of physical abuse. It involves non-consensual sexual contact with the resident of a nursing home resident.

Emotional abuse

This form of abuse may be difficult to recognize. It involves causing the resident emotional or psychological distress. This form of abuse may include yelling, belittling residents, or threatening them. It can erode the resident’s self-worth.
