At Greenberg & Bederman, LLP, our nursing home abuse attorneys have devoted much of their careers to protecting the rights of the abused, including the elderly and their families. Sadly, abuse and neglect of the elderly happens frequently in nursing home facilities all across the U.S. We do not take the abuse of our elders lightly and we will fight tirelessly to ensure those responsible are held accountable for their actions.

Types of Nursing Home Abuse

There are various forms of nursing home abuse, some of which are not physical. However, abuse of any kind, whether physical or not, can takes its toll and have damaging effects. Some of the more common types of elderly abuse/neglect include:

• Physical abuse, assault
• Sexual assault
• Emotional abuse
• Name calling
• Intimidation through threats
• Untreated infections/illnesses/sores
• Skipping meals and/or treatments
• Isolating or ignoring an elderly person
• Abandonment and neglect
• Financial exploitation

While some forms of nursing home abuse are more obvious than others, if you see any type of unusual change in behavior from your loved one, leading you to believe something may be wrong (even if they tell you otherwise), chances are, you are probably right. Even if you are not, you owe it to your elderly loved one or friend to investigate.
