Nursing Home Litigation
Nursing home abuse occurs when the resident is physically abused, raped or sexually assaulted, over-sedated, or subjected to verbal and/or emotional abuse in a nursing home. Dependent individuals, often elderly adults, may reside in nursing homes and depend on the nursing home staff for their care and well-being. Abuse in nursing homes can be hard to detect since many nursing home residents have trouble communicating and may have sporadic family support.
