Nursing Home Abuse
Cohen Battisti, Orlando Nursing
Home Abuse Lawyers / Attorneys


Nursing
home abuse is one of the nation's largest
growing problems.
Estimated one in three nursing homes are
reported for nursing home abuse, a number
thought grossly underestimated. This statistic
is frightening, especially considering instances
of nursing home abuse are so severe reports of
death, broken bones, beating, and complete
neglect occurred. Nursing home abuse potentially
affects the 1.6 million nursing home residents,
and with the number of residents estimated to
reach 5 million in 30 years the problem of
nursing home abuse must be solved.
Nursing home abuse
can occur in many different ways. Many people associate nursing home
abuse to just physical, however nursing home abuse can also be
emotional, psychological, sexual, verbal, and neglect. Watching for
signs of nursing home abuse can help prevent further damage from
occurring because in many instances residents are afraid to disclose
that nursing home abuse is happening. Some residents feel reporting
the nursing home abuse will make them a burden to their families or
they have been threatened and fear the nursing home abuse will grow
worse.
Nursing home
abuse has been largely attributed to underpaid, under trained, and
high turn over rate employees. In addition, families of nursing home
abuse victims were shocked to learn that a majority of nursing home
abuse perpetrators had a history of past nursing home abuse yet this
had not stopped them for being hired. If you would like more
information on nursing home abuse, please contact us to confer with
