Common Types Of Nursing Home Abuse

Nursing home abuse and neglect are unfortunately common. People across Ohio have struggled with the fallout from the dangerous behavior of nursing home personnel for a long time. Patients in nursing facilities are at risk for:

• Emotional abuse: Including verbal abuse and psychological abuse. These can be hard to detect but can lead to lasting mental trauma.
• Physical abuse: Including violence and sexual assault. These are physical dangers that can hospitalize a vulnerable person and, in some cases, become fatal.
• Financial exploitation: Including fraud and theft. Financial exploitation is when nursing home personnel work to gain their charges’ trust, to gain access to their finances.
• Neglect: This can be ignoring a person’s basic needs for clothes changes and bathing, or not providing prescription medication on the proper schedule.

Patients suffering from dangerous, abusive or neglectful conditions undergo many changes. They may become withdrawn. Formally warm, gregarious relatives can become quiet and distant. Levelheaded people may become emotional and inconsolable.

These heartbreaking situations demand aggressive legal action.
