Understanding Nursing Home Abuse 

Nursing home abuse is a broad term used to refer to all types of mistreatment in nursing homes and similar assisted living facilities. 

The different types of nursing home abuse include: 

  • Physical Abuse: Physical nursing home abuse includes pushing, shoving, hitting, slapping, pinching, forcefully grabbing, and punching residents.
  • Neglect: Nursing home neglect includes failing to provide adequate food, shelter, medical care, hygiene, safety, and other basic needs for residents.
  • Mental/Emotional Abuse: This includes yelling at, belittling, ridiculing, threatening, isolating, manipulating, intimidating, and harassing nursing home residents.
  • Sexual Abuse: Sexual abuse includes any unwanted or nonconsensual sexual acts, such as groping, exposing oneself, and rape or attempted rape.
  • Financial Exploitation: Financial exploitation includes stealing or misusing a resident’s money or property, as well as attempts to steal or misuses a resident’s money or property.

All forms of nursing home abuse can cause serious harm to elderly individuals, as well as their family members and loved ones. At the Law Office of Tom Wagstaff Jr., we believe that nursing homes, long-term care facilities, and other assisted living homes should be held legally responsible when they allow abuse and neglect to occur on their premises.
