Nursing Home Abuse

Abuse and neglect of the elderly in nursing homes is a sad by true reality. Nursing home patients can find themselves subject to dozens of adverse conditions causing injury, such as: ulcers, fractures, malnutrition or physical abuse including sexual assault, battery, excessive or insufficient medication, mistreatment, confinement, neglect, and verbal or emotional abuse.

Nursing homes receiving federal funds must comply with federal regulations with respect to staff, care, daily activities, hygiene, nutrition, treatment, and supervision. Nursing home residents are protected by the Nursing Home Reforms Act and Americans with Disabilities Act.
