What Are the Most Common Instances of Abuse and Neglect in New Jersey Nursing Homes?

Elderly patients frequently require special assistance because they are in frail health. This means that the elderly are often vulnerable to abuse and neglect. Some of the most common nursing home injuries suffered by elderly residents include slip & fall injuries, malnutrition and dehydration, bed sores, sepsis and other serious infections, and burn injuries. These injuries can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

• Chemical Restraints
• Failure to Accommodate Special Needs
• Failure to Properly Medicate
• Failure to Properly Treat Medical Conditions
• Hazardous Conditions
• Hygiene Neglect
• Patient on Patient Abuse
• Sexual Abuse
• Staffing Issues

State and federal laws recognize that elderly residents are vulnerable and need to be protected against both negligence and abuse. The most common forms of nursing home abuse include:

• Physical abuse: Elderly residents who suffer physical abuse at the hands of nursing home staff members may have both criminal and civil claims.
• Sexual abuse: Any kind of non-consensual sexual activity with nursing home residents needs to be reported immediately.
• Emotional abuse: Elderly residents deserve to be treated with dignity by nursing home staff at all times.
• Financial exploitation: Many elderly residents are unable to protect themselves against theft or fraud by nursing home staff.
