Memphis Nursing Home Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse is one of the most serious and despicable forms of nursing home abuse, but it is not nearly as rare as most people believe. Sexual abuse takes place when a caretaker performs sexual acts with a patient without his or her consent. Nursing home caretakers, other residents, strangers, and even family members engage in this behavior. AUniversity of Wisconsin study discovered that over ½ of nursing home residents who were sexually abused died within one year of the incident.
