Forms of Physical Abuse
Physical abuse in nursing homes takes many forms, all of which are unacceptable. It's important to be aware of the signs so that you can protect your loved one.
Here are some common examples:
- Striking or hitting: This can involve slapping, punching, or any other form of physical assault.
- Pushing and shoving: Even seemingly minor acts like pushing or shoving can cause serious injuries to frail residents.
- Inappropriate use of restraints: Restraints should only be used in very specific circumstances and with proper medical authorization. Misuse of restraints can lead to injuries and emotional distress.
- Overmedication: Administering medication improperly or in excessive doses can have serious physical and cognitive consequences.
- Rough handling: Caregivers who are impatient or inadequately trained may handle residents roughly during transfers, bathing, or dressing, leading to injuries.
- Inflicting burns: Burns can be caused by scalding water, hot objects, or even chemicals.
If you notice signs of physical abuse or if your loved one reports any form of physical abuse, it is crucial to take action. Contact The Brothers Law Firm immediately. We can help you understand your legal options and fight for the justice your loved one deserves.
