Elderly individuals deserve to live out their golden years in safety, comfort, and dignity. Unfortunately, nursing home abuse is a prevalent issue that affects many seniors across the nation. It is essential to recognize the signs of abuse and take immediate action to protect your loved ones. The Jaklitsch Law Group is a leading law firm specializing in nursing home abuse cases, and our attorneys are dedicated to ensuring that victims receive justice and fair compensation for the harm they have suffered.

Types Of Nursing Home Abuse
Nursing home abuse can take many forms, including physical, emotional, sexual, financial, and neglect. Each type of abuse can have severe and lasting consequences on the health and well-being of elderly individuals. It is crucial to understand the different types of abuse to recognize the signs and take appropriate action.
- Physical Abuse: Physical abuse involves the use of force, resulting in bodily harm, pain, or injury to an elderly resident. This can include hitting, slapping, pushing, kicking, or using restraints improperly.
- Emotional Abuse: Emotional abuse refers to the infliction of psychological or emotional pain on a nursing home resident. This can include verbal threats, humiliation, isolation, or manipulation.
- Sexual Abuse: Sexual abuse involves non-consensual sexual contact or activity with an elderly resident. This can include rape, sexual assault, or any other form of unwanted sexual contact
- Financial Abuse: Financial abuse involves the unauthorized or improper use of an elderly person’s funds or assets. This can include stealing money, forging signatures, or using the resident’s financial accounts without consent.
- Neglect: Neglect refers to the failure to provide adequate care or meet the basic needs of a nursing home resident, resulting in physical or emotional harm.
Warning Signs Of Nursing Home Abuse
If you suspect that a loved one is a victim of nursing home abuse, it is vital to be vigilant and look for the following warning signs:
- Bedsores (especially stage 4)
- Broken bones
- Dehydration and malnutrition
- Infections that result in sepsis
- Burns and bruises on the skin
- Serious falls
Additionally, changes in your loved one’s behavior or demeanor, such as withdrawal from social activities, anxiety, depression, or fear around certain staff members, can also indicate potential abuse or neglect.
Reporting Nursing Home Abuse
If you suspect that your loved one is suffering from nursing home abuse, it is crucial to report your concerns immediately. You can report abuse to the appropriate state agency, such as the Department of Health, Adult Protective Services, or the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program. Additionally, it is essential to consult with an experienced nursing home abuse attorney who can help you navigate the legal process and protect your loved one’s rights.
