Physical and elderly abuse in nursing homes occurs when physical force is used to cause harm and injury to an elderly patient. Physical elder abuse typically has the most obvious warning signs. Unfortunately, due to cognitive issues or other disabilities, many elders are unable to properly report abuse.
Abuse of the elderly frequently goes unreported and often happens within a family but also occurs in professional settings such as hospitals, assisted living facilities and nursing home abuse. All 50 states have laws against elder abuse, and while they differ from state to state, all states have systems for reporting suspected elderly abuse.
Abuse in a nursing home can drastically reduce the quality of life for your loved ones, and it’s important to stop the chain of pain and suffering right away. Start by contacting social services to report the abuse and removing the person from the situation if you feel danger is imminent, and then schedule a consultation with a Texas personal injury attorney for your case. Everyone has the right to a life free of violence and harassment.
SecureShot NightVision Air Freshener w/PIR Motion Activation + 1 Year Battery is the best Product to prove Elderly Abuse In Nursing Homes. It features Full Resolution D1 Recording, NightVision. PIR Motion Activation. and 1 Year Battery. “Setting up an air purifier spy camera inside our mother’s room provided us a sense of peace.” We can’t keep an eye on her at all times but the camera can. We are certain that placing hidden cameras in nursing home grounds could safeguard our loved ones.
Nursing home abuse, nursing home neglect and senior citizen abuse or elderly abuse are all outrageous, despicable and disgusting crimes perpetrated against some of the most helpless and most defenseless among us, senior citizens. Senior citizens are supposed to be treasured custodians of our past; not just easy targets for thugs.
SecureShot Mini Tower Air Purifier with NightVision is another camera that will go undetected in a nursing home and will prove without a shadow of a doubt that your loved one is indeed being abused. The Low Light High resolution Color mini camera installed inside the unit will give you an excellent color picture during normal lighting conditions to switch then to a very clear B&W image under totally darkness thanks to the advanced camera board combined with the IR’s LED (infrared illumination) also hidden inside the unit. A tiny pinhole camera peers out from behind the grille to capture a clear view of all the action. Recordings are stored on a very well hidden SD card, for later playback on your PC or directly from the radio itself to your TV.
A study showed that between the 1999-2000, a whole 30% of 5,283 nursing homes were cited for almost 9,000 instances of nursing home abuse. With the number of senior citizens in America rising, and with the Baby Boomer generation of Post WWII settling into their golden years, the chances for abuse in the nursing home increase. Nursing home facilities are already under great stress with the number of residents they have to care for, and many lack the staff, training and resources to provide adequate care to every resident.
Some people are afraid of disclosing elderly abuse in nursing homes for fear it will become worse or because they do not wish to cause worry. Nursing home residents are also often victims of horrible abuse because they may have physical or mental restrictions that leave them unable to communicate what is going on. For these reason, it is important to notice if there are any visible signs of elderly abuse that your loved one may not be verbally communicating.
Common examples of elder mistreatment include elderly abuse and neglect and serious crimes against the elderly like physical and sexual elderly abuse in nursing homes, elder fraud and financial exploitation of the elderly. And it’s not always physical either; elder emotional abuse is also common.
A study conducted found that nursing home abuse occurs in about one third of all nursing homes in the nation. This includes verbal, sexual, and physical abuse of varying degrees. com reported that this study found almost 9,000 citations for abuse from 5,283 facilities across the country in two years, and the abuse has been on the rise since 1996.
Statistics show that in recent years, cases of nursing home abuse and nursing home neglect have been on the rise. A disturbing trend revealed in studies done by the National Center on Elder Abuse show that between the years of 1986 and 1994, the number of cases of elderly abuse in nursing homes has doubled from 120,000 to 240,000.
If you or a loved one have been suffering through any form of nursing home abuse or nursing home neglect, you have the right to file suit. However, the longer you wait in taking action, the more difficult it will become to gain compensation, as the window for such legal action must fall within a timeframe of a limited number of days after the incident last occurred. Don’t wait if you or a loved one has experienced nursing home abuse recently.
