New Jersey Nursing Home Abuse Attorney

Is Your Elderly Loved One Being Abused or Neglected?

Under the Nursing Home Reform Law of 1987, nursing home residents are guaranteed certain protections of their rights. A nursing home is required to not only protect but promote these designated rights, including a guaranteed quality of life, a right to be fully informed, the right to complain, and the right to privacy, among others. Unfortunately, abusers still manage to find new targets. Some of the most common forms of nursing home abuse include:

  • Neglect
  • Physical abuse
  • Sexual abuse
  • Emotional abuse
  • Financial exploitation
  • Abandonment

When most people think of nursing home abuse, they think of physical mistreatment, such as beating, hitting, or other violent actions. While this is a prominent form of abuse, there are also more subtle forms of abuse that may go under the radar without close scrutiny.

For example, a caretaker, nurse, or staff member may use manipulation to trick the elderly individual into transferring funds into their account or may abuse your loved one in a psychological manner, causing serious damage. No matter the form of abuse, it is crucial that you take action if you suspect any type of mistreatment is occurring. Your elderly loved one deserves an advocate who will stand up for them.

Victims of elder abuse don’t always let their family and friends know about their situation for any number of reasons, ranging from dementia or Alzheimer’s to fear of retaliation from their abusers. It’s important to check in with your loved one and keep an eye out for any signs of abuse. If you notice something wrong, you may need to bring in legal assistance to help you secure a safe environment for your loved one.
