Facing The Facts
Physical Abuse
According to a study conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO), one in five nursing home residents will experience abuse.
Psychological Abuse
According to a study completed by the National Center on Elder Abuse, psychological and emotional abuse is the most common form that will take place in a nursing home.
Financial Abuse
According to the National Council on Aging, elders are more likely to self-report financial abuse than any of the other forms. However, it’s still reported that a shocking $2.6 billion is lost each year by residents due to financial abuse.
Nursing home abuse incidents are a large problem that robs seniors of their dignity, security, and trust. The attorneys at Montlick will fight to ensure you or your loved ones receive fair compensation.

Nursing home abuse tragically occurs more often than many realize. A study conducted by the Special Investigations Division on Government Reform Committee found that over 30 percent of nursing homes in the United States have been cited for abuse. Anyone who has a loved one in nursing home care should be aware of the signs of abuse and their legal rights. Abuse could resemble:
- Bed sores
- Poor hygiene
- Cuts and bruises
- Infections
- Poor oral hygiene
- Excessive hunger or thirst
- Changes in mental or physical health
- Fear of certain staff members, other patients, or circumstances
- Missing personal items or money
- Social or emotional withdrawal
- Confusion or agitation that was not previously experienced
- Slurring of words, unsteady gait, and other indicators of overmedication
Who’s to Blame?
More than one person may be at fault for the mistreatment of your loved one. The nursing home itself, in addition to various staff, may be found liable if:
- The staff was not properly trained
- Proper hiring standards were not in place
- Standards were ignored leading to a dangerous individual being hired
- The nursing home failed to adequately supervise staff
- There was a failure to report abuse
Whatever happens, whoever is at fault, rest assured our team will always have your best interest in mind.
