Elder abuse has been found to be an all too frequent occurrence with deadly results. When this abuse or neglect occurs at the hands of trained professionals who have secured state licenses to operate their personal care or nursing home, you have a right to be angry and to demand answers.
The breach of the standard care when directed against our elderly parents by paid
care givers should be punished severely. Physical or mental abuse and neglect of individuals of any age and our elderly parents is a silent crime. These types of claims affect any individual, no matter what their age, while under the care of a nursing home or care facility.
Most of the elderly with disabilities are unlikely to complain about abuse, neglect or victimization under the fear that they will lose whatever support, even abusive that they have, and that their complaints will trigger reprisals.
Why is abuse and neglect present in Nursing Homes? The tragic truth is that the nursing home industry, for the most part, behaves as just that: an industry that houses our loved ones at the lowest cost possible.
This means:
Minimal qualifications
Inadequate staffing
Insufficient training
Low wages and high turnover
The ultimate result is serious and even life-threatening problems for nursing home residents: weight loss, failure to treat pressure sores or manage pain effectively, hospitalization, malnutrition, dehydration and even starvation.
Each certified Nursing Home Nursing Assistant is typically responsible for 15-20 residents per a 7.5 hour shift. This means at best an average of only a half hour per resident. Is that really sufficient?
A Brighter Future:
After years of providing poor elder care, it seems nursing homes are finally being held accountable. A flood of lawsuits have been filed across the country and grieving families are receiving compensation for pain, suffering and the untimely death of loved ones.
