When you choose a nursing home for your elderly loved one, you expect the staff to treat them with courtesy, respect, and compassion.
The High Cost of Nursing Home Abuse
The financial impact of nursing home abuse may include medical treatments for injuries such as:
- Welts, wounds, and bruises
- Head injuries and broken bones
- Nutrition and hydration issues
- Increased risks for premature death
In addition to the physical and financial cost of nursing home abuse, it can take a high emotional toll as well. Victims may experience mental and emotional distress, such as anxiety or depression.
