In recent years, the United States has seen a dramatic increase in nursing home abuse matters and a growth in the number of elderly individuals who are the hidden victims of this unfortunate matter. With each passing year, the statistics of abuse continues to increase. Today, 50% of the elderly being housed in these homes have reported instances of abuse, and 30% of nursing homes have reported mistreatment against patients.
Abusive reports from patients, staff and other individuals in nursing homes have included:
- Dehydration or malnutrition as a result of poor nutritional care of patients
- Violent patient handling or treatment
