Stop Nursing Home Abuse and Negligence in New York City
Your parents spent their entire lives working to make sure you were taken care of, and now it is your turn to make sure they are taken care of. But deciding to send parents, older relatives and other loved ones to a nursing home or assisted living facility is not easy.
Many people feel guilt at the thought of placing a loved one in a long-term care facility, but the reality is that you probably do not have the time or experience to provide the care that your aging loved one needs. When people place loved ones in nursing homes, they expect those loved ones to get the care they need and deserve. But unfortunately, that is not always the case.

Recognizing and Curbing Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
As more baby boomers enter retirement age, the number of older adults entering nursing homes and assisted living facilities will only continue to grow. It is important, then, that proper elder care is provided.
Nursing home abuse can come in many forms, including financial abuse, emotional abuse and physical abuse or sexual assault. Neglect also comes in many forms, including a failure to:
- Reposition immobile residents on a regular basis, often resulting in bedsores
- Assist residents with walking, transfers to wheelchairs or trips to the bathroom, resulting in slip-and-falls
- Help residents bathe and maintain personal hygiene
- Assist residents during mealtimes, preventing malnutrition and dehydration
- Provide proper medication, resulting in overdoses or other medication errors
- Properly follow care plans
- Properly monitor and supervise residents so they do not wander off
Whether you are in the process of choosing a nursing home or a loved one already resides in one, it is important to always be on the lookout for signs of elder abuse. If you suspect nursing home abuse or neglect, it is important to speak up.
