Nursing homes and assisted living facilities are set up to take care of the elderly when they no longer have the ability to care for themselves. Those residing in these facilities are extremely vulnerable to abuse and neglect by staff members.
The National Council on Aging (NCOA) published a report that states nearly 1 in 10 Americans over the age of 60 has endured elderly abuse. The NCOA also estimates that 5 million seniors are abused every year across the United States. Even worse, statistics show that only 1 in 14 cases are reported to the police.
Abuse by the elderly at nursing homes or assisted living facilities may go unreported for a few reasons. The first being that the abuse victim is living in fear of their abuser and afraid to speak out because doing so could make their situation worse. They could also be embarrassed that this has happened to them and not want to relive these moments with anyone else. Secondly, the abuse victim may not be able to report their abuse or neglect because of their physical impairments. Sadly, half of all seniors with mental impairments such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia suffer from some type of abuse or neglect in their residence. It is very important for family members of those with disabilities that prevent them from reporting what is happening to them to be aware of what is going on and report any suspicions to local authorities. By keeping a close eye on your loved one’s facility, you can make sure your loved one does not suffer any harm.
