What Are Causes of Nursing Home Abuse?
There are some common denominators in nursing home abuse cases. When administrators fail to properly staff nursing homes, overworked employees can become stressed and aggravated, and may take out these frustrations on innocent residents. Likewise, if a nursing home employee does not receive adequate training when they are hired, they may make mistakes while feeding patients, administering medications, or otherwise caring for their patients’ well-being. A quality nursing home employee is equipped with the resources he or she needs to safely and responsibly care for a resident. While employees are accountable for their own actions, management is also responsible for supplying their team with the proper tools and support to do their job.

What If I Suspect a Loved One Is Being Abused?
Sometimes abuse manifests itself in obvious ways (e.g., bruising, sexually transmitted diseases, or unexplained withdrawals of money from a bank account). In other cases, it takes a keen eye to detect. For example, nursing home residents who are being emotionally abused may seem withdrawn, unresponsive, distressed, or agitated. Or residents who are being improperly restrained may have subtle rope burns around the wrists or ankles, or unexplained muscle or joint injuries due to struggling against the restraints.
If you suspect a loved one is being abused in a nursing home, you should first contact the local police if you feel the person is in immediate or life-threatening danger. Then, contact Adult Protective Services in the county where the victim resides. You can file a report detailing information about the victim, the victim’s situation, and even the person you suspect is being abusive. Finally, contact our experienced nursing home abuse attorneys to go over the victim’s legal rights and options.
