The abuse and neglect of nursing home residents is a significant issue in Boston

Approximately one in five nursing home residents report being abused or neglected. This can take many forms: physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, neglect of basic needs, and financial exploitation.

Because of the vulnerable population residing in these homes, we must ensure their safety and well-being by providing dedicated staff members. They will be able to monitor activities within the home and investigate any potential abuse or neglect.

Warning signs that your elderly loved one may be the victim of nursing home abuse

If you suspect that your elderly loved one is the victim of nursing home abuse, there are a few warning signs to look out for:

  • Unexplained injuries or bruises on their body.
  • Withdrawal from social activities or family gatherings.
  • Loss of appetite or sudden weight loss.
  • Unknown fear or agitation when discussing the nursing home.
  • Unsanitary living conditions, such as a dirty bathroom or soiled clothing.
  • Signs of neglect, such as bedsores or dehydration.

If you notice any of these warning signs, it is important to take immediate action. Report your concerns to the nursing home staff and contact a Boston nursing home abuse lawyer. With their guideline, you can ensure that your loved one is safe and receives the help they need.

Your Questions Answered

Why do I need a nursing home abuse lawyer?

Nursing home abuse is a serious crime, and victims of this type of abuse must be protected. An experienced Boston nursing home neglect attorney can:

  • Represent your best interests.
  • Ensure that any damages are adequately compensated.
  • Help you understand your rights and ensure that justice is served.
  • Guide you on filing a lawsuit, seeking restitution, and navigating other legal options available to you.

With the right lawyer by your side, you may be able to hold the responsible party accountable for their actions and obtain the financial compensation you are fighting for.

Examples of neglect in a nursing home would be:

  1. Not providing basic needs such as adequate food, water, and medical attention.
  2. A lack of social interaction or stimulation.
  3. Inadequate hygiene care and clean clothing.
  4. Failure to provide timely assistance for mobility and health issues.
  5. Physical or emotional abuse, in extreme cases.

According to the Adult Maltreatment Report made by the National Adult Maltreatment Reporting System in 2021, self-neglect is the most common type of nursing home abuse.

Self-neglect home abuse can take many forms:

  • Refusal or inability to provide oneself with adequate food, clothing, hygiene, or shelter.
  • Hoarding of garbage, animals, or possessions that pose a risk to one’s health and safety.
  • Failure to take prescribed medication.
  • Refusal or inability to pay bills, leading to loss of utilities or eviction.

Emotional abuse in nursing homes is defined as any action that causes mental anguish, distress, or fear. This can include verbal harassment and threats, humiliation or ridicule, manipulation, social isolation, withdrawal of affection, and/or ignoring the needs of a resident.

Premises liability

PREMISE LIABILITY

$450,000

James was searching for equipment for painting at Home Depot. In the aisle next to him, there was a worker on a lift stocking the highest shelf. The worker pushed boxes so far across the shelf that they fell off the other edge and hit James in the head. The force almost knocked James unconscious. He sat down and the loud bang got the worker off the ladder to see what fell. When they saw James they offered him a bucket and made a report. James did not recall leaving the store or how he got home. He did not recall much except being at home depot and getting hit in the head. Home Depot told him that it was a small box of dust masks that hurt him. We discovered it was actually a large box of emergency kits that fell off the shelf.
