The statistics of abuse toward an ever-increasing demographic, the elderly, is projected to increase dramatically in the next two decades, which is shocking. More than 2,000,000 cases of elder abuse are reported every year which means almost one out of every 10 elderly individuals will experience some form of elder abuse in their senior years. Some of this elder abuse is at the hands of family members and, despite the high statistics, studies estimate a majority of elderly abuse cases go unreported, particularly since nursing homes are responsible for reporting their own issues.
More than 75,000 Ohioans lived in certified nursing care facilities as of 2016, yet Ohio has been reported as among the lowest in the nation in terms of quality of nursing home care. According to nursing home investigative studies, a Cleveland newspaper conducted of facilities throughout Ohio, approximately 31 Ohio nursing home deaths from 2013-2016 were due to issues of care and residents’ lawyers argue the number could be far higher.

Elder abuse in care facilities is not limited to physical violence and neglect, which means it’s often subtle and difficult to detect. Elder abuse also includes manipulation, coercion, financial, and psychological abuse. Forced revision of wills, deeds, or trusts to compensate caregivers, loss or theft of personal property, and demands for cash withdrawals or property gifts can all constitute elder abuse.
Common types of nursing home abuse include:
Physical abuse often takes a much more blatant and obvious form and can have long-term and even life-threatening effects. Its most extreme result is death. Physical abuse in a nursing home could include:
The signs and effects of nursing home abuse can take a variety of forms, including physical and psychological. Some of the common signs an elder is experiencing abuse or neglect include:
Financially, the cost of treating elder abuse for severe physical injuries alone adds more than $5,000,000 to healthcare costs annually; psychological injury treatment possibly exceeds even that. CNN reported that nursing homes are slow to investigate claims of elder abuse, or even attempt to hide them. In addition, there is a high bar for substantiation abuse, and often allegations against caregivers are dismissed since many of the elderly victims are considered unreliable.
Experienced nursing home abuse lawyers are critical in helping you pursue compensation and justice in your nursing home or elder abuse case. KNR elder abuse attorneys have decades of experience advocating for the elderly and their families to pursue the best treatment for aging and injury as well as quality care for life.
