Glendale Nursing Home Abuse Attorney

Information About Nursing Home Abuse

Nursing home abuse is fast becoming one of the nation's largest problems. It is estimated that one in three nursing homes have been involved in some manner of elderly abuse, though this statistic may actually be underestimated. According to ABCnews.com, a study conducted by the Special Investigations Division of the House government Reform committee found that approximately 30% of U.S. nursing homes (5,283 facilities) were reported to have committed nearly 9,000 instances of nursing home abuse over a two-year period. The types of abuse that have been reported are many, and some cases are very severe. Examples include:

Physical abuse
Sexual abuse
Malnutrition and dehydration
Beatings
Gross neglect
Lack of hygienic care
Broken bones
Bed sores
Death
