Pennsylvania Nursing Home Abuse
Nursing home abuse can be one of the most painful and maddening forms of medical malpractice. The elderly residents of nursing homes are in a very dependent position in relation to the staff and doctors there. The resident and family place huge amounts of trust in the employees of the nursing home, and when that trust is betrayed, it is a true tragedy.

Types of Nursing Home Abuse
Nursing home abuse can take many forms, and they can all be painful. Any staff member at a nursing home can make mistakes or mistreat residents in such a way that it constitutes abuse. Doctors, nurses, cooks, support staff, and administration officials can all potentially neglect or abuse the elderly residents. Some of the most common indicators of nursing home abuse are:
- Bedsores
- Dehydration
- Malnutrition
- Slips and Falls
- Physical injuries
Nursing home abuse is becoming much more prevalent in the United States. It is important to make sure that the nursing homes are held accountable for allowing negligent and abusive actions against residents.
