Such actions are completely inexcusable and it is important to hold those responsible for nursing home abuse responsible for their actions.

The Dangers of Humiliation

Humiliation is the act of ridiculing an individual based on his or her qualities or characteristics. In nursing homes, attendants may humiliate patients for qualities that they cannot control. This may happen in private or in front of other nursing home attendants and residents.

Humiliation is a form of emotional abuse that may cause:

  • Depression
  • Embarrassment
  • Deep emotional trauma

These effects of emotional abuse can significantly decrease an individual’s happiness and overall sense of self-worth. Some individuals may become suicidal while others may experience a rapid decline in health.

When an individual has been the victim of humiliation in a nursing home, his or her family should contact a New Jersey humiliation lawyer to learn about holding the nursing home accountable in order to prevent such abuse in the future.
