A senior resident of a nursing home is vulnerable to abuse by the home's management and staff. Seniors rely on family and close friends to check in on them on a regular basis and monitor their caregivers to ensure that they are being treated fairly, however, this is not always the case. Every day there are numerous instances of nursing home abuse throughout the state of New Jersey.
Nursing home abuse comes in many forms such as being handled roughly by the staff or being neglected and left unattended for long periods of time. Other forms of indirect abuse occur when a facility is not properly maintained, causing slip, trip and fall injuries. Example of maintenance negligence are buckling or torn carpet, broken floor tiles, and other poor maintenance issues. Senior residents can suffer from injuries ranging from bruises to broken bones. Malnutrition and dehydration also often occur when one is insufficiently cared for. In the most severe form, nursing home abuse can directly lead to death. At times, nursing home staff can also be verbally abusive and threaten the patients, causing them emotional distress.
