Nursing Home Abuse

Each and every year, hundreds of thousands of older persons are abused, neglected or exploited. Often, this abuse takes place while in the care of those who have been entrusted with the day-to-day well-being of our loved ones: nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Many victims are people who are elderly, frail, and vulnerable. They cannot help themselves, and they depend on others to meet their most basic needs. Sometimes, a concerned relative or a friend has to step in and seek legal help. If your loved one has suffered in this kind of situation, we can help make sure you understand your loved one’s legal rights.

Elder abuse encompasses a number of harms, including:

  • Physical abuse or injury.
  • Sexual abuse (non-consensual sexual contact of any kind)
  • Emotional or psychological mental abuse, such as humiliation, intimidation, or threats.
  • Financial or material exploitation, by using the resources of an older person, without that person’s informed consent, for someone else's benefit.
  • Neglect or failure of a caretaker to provide what is necessary to avoid physical harm, mental anguish or mental illness, for example, by abandonment, or the denial of food or health related services.
