NURSING HOME ABUSE GUIDE

Over 3.2 million adults living in nursing homes and other long term care
facilities in the U.S. As many as 40 percent of all adults will enter a nursing
home at some point during their lives and as the U.S. population ages, the
number of nursing home residents is expected to grow. Many of these elders are
well-cared for but many may be the victims of abuse.

Elder abuse, particularly when it involves a patient in a residential care
facility, can be difficult to detect and for every reported case of abuse, more
than five cases may go unreported.

Nursing home abuse is a serious concern and seniors who have been abused have a
300 percent greater chance of death in the 3 years following the abuse than
those who aren’t abused. Up to 1 in 6 nursing home residents may be the victim
of abuse or neglect every year.

Though many residents are well-cared for, abuse continues to be more prevalent
than most people wish to believe and over three-fourths of the cases of nursing
home abuse are perpetrated by caregivers.

A congressional report showed that an examination of nursing home records
conducted over a two-year period showed that nearly 1 in 3 nursing homes were
cited for violations that had the potential to cause harm and almost 10 percent
of all nursing homes have violations that caused actual harm, serious injury or
placed them in jeopardy of death.

A survey of nursing home residents showed that up to 44 percent of nursing home
residents reported that they had been abused at some time in residency and
nearly all of those surveyed (95%) had seen another resident neglected.

A study conducted by the U.S. General Accountability Office revealed that state
regulators are likely to miss signs of abuse. The GAO found that 70 percent of
state surveys missed significant deficiencies and 15 percent missed notice of
actual harm or immediate jeopardy of a nursing home resident.

Due to reports like these, legislatures in all 50 states have passed
anti-elder-abuse laws but nursing home abuse continues to occur.
