According to the National Center on Elder Abuse, more than a third of the nursing homes in the United States have been cited at least once for mistreating residents in their care. Of course, nursing homes, independent living and assisted living facilities are businesses with the right to earn profits, but they can never allow profits to be placed above the well-being and safety of their residents.
Thousands of people throughout the State of California entrust the care of their loved ones to nursing homes. Though many nursing homes provide excellent care to their patients, some facilities fail to meet even the basic needs of their elderly residents, and in the most extreme cases sub-standard care can lead to horrible instances of abuse and neglect to which no human being should be subjected. Issues which are cause for concern include poor care, under-staffing, unsafe conditions, mistreatment, physical abuse or neglect, or any matter protected by law.
Nursing home abuse can leave seniors with physical and emotional scars, impact their quality of life, and even lead to premature death. If you believe your aging loved one or another senior is suffering nursing home abuse, you need to report it as soon as possible. Learn how to report nursing home abuse below.
When a loved one or a close friend is placed into a nursing home, generally they are because it is safer for them to be surrounded by others like themselves and qualified caretakers. However, sometimes in unfortunate situations, a nursing home can instead turn into a place of abuse. Though this is not a normal occurrence by any means, it still does happen. If you, for any reason at all, suspect that abuse is occurring to your loved one or another person within your chosen nursing home, there are steps that you can take to both bring attention to the problem at hand and to end it.
If your loved one is in an emergency situation and in immediate danger, do not hesitate to dial 911 or the local police for help. Elder abuse can quickly escalate, causing injuries your loved one may never recover from. Contact the police if you suspect someone is suffering abuse or neglect to the point that it is causing immediate damage. The police will go to the nursing home, conduct an investigation, and take appropriate action.
When our loved ones enter nursing homes, we expect the facility to provide a safe environment and reliable care. Unfortunately, a significant number of retirement homes are understaffed or poorly managed, and the residents suffer the consequences.
The bottom line in this issue is that nursing homes and long-term care facilities are careful to word their contracts in ways that will benefit themselves during a dispute. Before you sign anything – especially if the word arbitration appears in your contract – have an experienced nursing home attorney, such as Chad Love of The Love Law Firm, review your contract to make sure it is legal and in your best interest. And don’t allow yourself to be told by any care facility that signing an arbitration clause is required for admission, because this is simply not true.
Remember that it isn’t unheard of for elderly residents of nursing homes to be subjected to sexual abuse. The sexual abuse does not have to involve penetrative sex. Sexual corruption can occur even if the person is touched through his or her clothes, made to watch pornographic videos, or witness sex acts.
