Types of Nursing Home Abuse
There are over 680 licensed nursing homes in Florida. In an assisted living facility or nursing home, elder abuse can occur in a variety of ways. The most common abuse those in a care facility face is neglect. Nursing home neglect often results in a decline in general health and, when overlooked, can end in death. Some of the other forms of elder abuse are:
- Physical
- Emotional
- Financial
- Sexual
Often, nursing home abuse manifests as a combination of several forms of mistreatment. A resident may be physically forced to divulge important financial information. A caregiver may also use emotional manipulation to trick a patient into performing an action they normally would not.
