Nursing Home Negligence Attorneys
If you have a loved one in a nursing home, there are some things that you need to know about abuse that can be seen in these types of facilities, though this certainly doesn’t mean that this happens in every facility. Nursing home negligence attorney Shannan C. Neri, Esquire, is ready to investigate into any claim for negligence happening inside a nursing home or facility. She’s here to help protect the rights of your family and friends.
Abuse can take different forms including:
- Emotional abuse which includes ridicule and being isolated
- Physical abuse which may take the form of causing the physical pain or suffering of an elder willfully, restraining them or administering their medication improperly
- Sexual molestation
- Neglecting and endangering an elderly person
- Senior fraud which is the financial exploitation or abuse of an elderly person
- Pressure ulcers (also known as bedsores, caused by not being rotated properly in a bed for long periods of time)
- Diabetic ulcers
EMOTIONAL ABUSE
This is often the most common form of abuse that elderly patients see at a nursing home. Workers will sometimes belittle the residents when they don’t eat or when they make a mess in a diaper or their bed. When this happens, it’s common for the residents to not want to speak to those who come to visit them, even if it’s family.
PHYSICAL ABUSE
Some of the nurses and aides might hit the resident with anything from a brush to a belt or even use a hand or fist when committing physical abuse. You might see bruising on their hands or legs. That can be a sign of such abuse and should be taken straight to a Bradenton negligence attorney. Other types of physical negligence may include things like falls that are not taken care of or helped properly, which could easily lead to a fracture, or infections from improper care.
