Nevada nursing homes are meant to provide a safe, caring environment for senior citizens. Yet when facilities fail to meet these standards, nursing home abuse or neglect may occur and put the well-being of residents at risk.
Nursing home abuse can take many forms, including:
Physical abuse: Violence or unnecessary force against a resident can result in injuries and leave them feeling scared or unsafe within the facility.
Elder neglect: If staff members fail to meet a resident's basic needs, like providing them with proper nutrition or hygiene assistance, it may be considered neglect. This lack of care can lead to physical and mental decline.
Sexual abuse: Inappropriate sexual contact between a staff member and a resident may result in injuries, infections, and emotional trauma.
Over 10% of nursing homes in Nevada have been identified as having serious deficiencies, which are believed to put residents in immediate danger.
Our Nevada nursing home abuse lawyers have the resources and experience necessary to stand up to the facilities responsible for your loved one’s injuries and seek justice on their behalf.
Recognizing the signs of nursing home abuse is crucial to getting your loved one out of a potentially harmful situation. When you visit them or talk over the phone, you should be aware of any shifts in their physical or emotional state.
Behavioral changes, like acting withdrawn or agitated
Dehydration or malnutrition
Poor hygiene and unsanitary living conditions
Unaddressed medical issues
Unexplained injuries, like cuts, bruises, or broken bones
Weight loss
If you suspect that your loved one is experiencing nursing home abuse, it's important to take action immediately. You can report the abuse to the facility’s administration, a long-term care ombudsman, or the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health.
A resident at Life Care Center in Las Vegas was reportedly neglected and left in soiled clothes for hours. He developed multiple infections during his time at the facility — including UTIs, MRSA, and sepsis — and had bedsores that were so severe his toe had to be amputated.
