Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer in Bradenton

When it comes to nursing home abuse, it can take different forms. Here are the most common: 

• Physical abuse involves any intentional use of force that causes harm or pain, such as hitting, shoving, or improper use of restraints.
• Sexual abuse, on the other hand, includes any non-consensual sexual contact or behavior. 
• Financial abuse occurs when someone unlawfully or improperly uses a resident's money, property, or assets.
• Emotional abuse is often the most overlooked type of nursing home abuse and involves verbal assaults, threats, humiliation, and isolation, causing psychological trauma.
• Neglect occurs when a resident's basic needs—such as food, medical care, or hygiene—are not met.

If your loved one has experienced any of these forms of abuse, or anything along these lines, then you may have a valid case against those responsible.
