Common Types of Nursing Home Abuse
Our nursing home abuse lawyers in Las Vegas have helped families like yours for years. We’ve seen many different forms of nursing home abuse and know how to investigate to gather the proof we need to identify at-fault parties and hold them liable.
You can count on our dedicated team to get justice if your loved one has suffered from one of the following forms of abuse:
- Physical abuse: This can include hitting, rough handling, or improper use of restraints that leave bruises or other injuries.
- Neglect: Nursing home neglect refers to the failure to provide basic care like food, water, hygiene, and supervision.
- Emotional abuse: This form of abuse includes yelling, threats, humiliation, or isolation that leaves your loved one fearful or withdrawn.
- Sexual abuse: This refers to any non-consensual contact, which is especially devastating against residents who can’t defend themselves or speak up.
- Financial exploitation: This can occur when nursing home staff steal money or manipulate a resident into changing financial documents.
- Medical neglect: Medical neglect happens when the facility fails to give medication, manage conditions, or respond to a clear medical need.
