Elderly abuse can come in many different forms, from physical abuse to neglect. If you have put your trust into a Las Vegas nursing home or assisted living facility in Southern Nevada to care for a loved one, and you now feel that your loved one or family member has been abused, you are not alone. Disturbingly, elderly abuse is unfortunately common and on the rise in Nevada and around the world. These include physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, financial/material exploitation, neglect, abandonment, and self-neglect of the elderly.
There are complaints reported against many of these facilities every year for causing injury or even death. Our elderly are one of the most vulnerable groups of people with many already facing forms of dementia, difficulty moving, or other disabilities. Elderly individuals can easily be hurt or taken advantage of and need attorney representation when these unfortunate incidents happen.
Whether it is physical abuse, neglect, or any other form of harm, elderly abuse is illegal and should be immediately reported and stopped. It is very important to handle these matters properly and with care.
