Residents of nursing homes may be at risk for nursing home abuse. Due to their age and health conditions, they may not be able to defend themselves.
There are different types of nursing home abuse:
• Physical abuse - the willful inflicting of pain or injury to the resident.
• Financial abuse - the improper act of using the resources of a resident for someone else’s benefit without their consent.
• Sexual abuse - the coercing of a resident through force, trickery, threats or other means into unwanted sexual activity.
• Emotional abuse - the causing of mental or emotional distress by means of humiliation, intimidation or threats.
• Neglect - the failure to provide food, water, clothing, shelter, hygiene, medication, safety and comfort by someone who is responsible for the resident.
If a resident has been abused at a nursing facility, it is institutional abuse. Institutional abuse generally involves abuse committed by a person who has a legal or contractual obligation to care for the resident in a nursing home, foster home, or other similar facility. Nursing homes are licensed and heavily regulated under both federal and state law and are supposed to protect elderly residents from harm.
