Common Forms of Nursing Home Neglect
Elder abuse and neglect can take many forms. The bottom line in these cases is that there is an element of abuse or neglect by the doctor, nurse, or any healthcare practitioner who is responsible for caring for your elderly loved one. Just as each of our elders is unique, the forms of mistreatment that can befall them are many and varied.
A few examples of nursing home abuse and neglect include:
- An elder may become malnourished or dehydrated due to lack of observation and care.
- He or she may develop tenacious bruises and bed sores from being allowed to rest in one position too long.
- Unsafe conditions may also contribute to a devastating slip and fall incident.
- Caregivers might under- or over-medicate elderly patients due to carelessness or sloppy record keeping.
- A nurse or aide can lose his/her temper and take it out physically on an elderly patient.
- Physicians might make poor medical decisions that endanger an elder’s life or result in wrongful death.
