Types of Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse

• Medical Malpractice. The most common type of nursing home medical malpractice is failure to manage pain. The second most common is medication errors.
• Malnutrition and dehydration. Not getting enough food and water is bad for anyone. For an elderly person already not in the best of health, the effects are worse. Bad nutrition results in higher risk for injury and longer healing time.
• Failure to supervise. This is especially devastating for patients suffering from Alzheimer's or dementia. Inadequately supervised residents can wander off the property, which can lead to injury or death.
• Physical and sexual abuse. As unthinkable as it may be, some elders are subject to hitting, burns, threats, and even sexual abuse.

If you believe you or someone you know has been the victim of nursing home abuse or neglect, please contact us right away.
