As they reach their declining years, our elderly loved ones deserve to be treated with kindness, compassion, and respect for their dignity. When family members place an aging relative into a nursing home, they expect their loved one to receive full-time care, concern for their comfort, and the medical attention they need to live out their remaining years in the best possible physical and emotional health. Sadly, despite their warm ads and compassionate tones, many nursing homes and other elder care facilities not only fail to provide the diligent care they promise but also allow egregious abuse and neglect of residents to occur under their watch. When abuse occurs to the elderly, it has a dramatic negative impact on their quality of life and sometimes leads to diminished life expectancy and death at a time when they most deserve care, comfort, and protection.

Elder abuse in nursing homes and assisted living facilities may feel intensely personal to your family, but it’s sadly more common than most people realize. According to the Nursing Home Abuse Center, the statistics are startling, including the following research and survey results:
Physical elder abuse in nursing homes also includes sexual abuse, though these are the most underreported instances of physical abuse due to the perceived stigma of abuse of this nature as well as fears of retaliation. Despite these barriers to reporting nursing home sexual abuse, nearly 2% of residents report experiencing sexual abuse while under care in nursing homes.
When an elderly loved one experiences abuse in a nursing home or assisted living facility, they may be unable to tell even their closest family members due to physical and cognitive limitations, dementia, or simple fear of retaliation by the abusive or neglectful members of their care team. Loved ones should watch for the following signs and symptoms of elder abuse in nursing home residents:
