Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys in Utah
Assisting Victims of Elder Abuse & Neglect
As America ages, more and more people are unable to take care of themselves and live independently. Often, friends, family, social organizations, and for-profit organizations provide the elderly with the care they need and deserve. When friends and family cannot give adequate care, the elder is oftentimes placed in a nursing home or assisted the living facility to ensure that the proper level of care is readily available and provided to the elder. Sadly, elders are increasingly subjected to emotional, physical, and financial abuse in their nursing homes or suffer neglect by their in-home caregivers or nurses.
Nursing home abuse can be divided into two categories:
- Neglect is a failure to provide for basic needs, which may result in medication overdoses, malnutrition, dehydration, infections, pressure sores, falls, septicemia, and gangrene.
- Intentional harm includes physical assault, emotional abuse, financial abuse, and sexual assault.
If you have concerns that a loved one if the victim of neglect or abuse of any variety, seek representation immediately.
