Types of Nursing Home Abuse

Physical Abuse

South Carolina’s Omnibus Adult Protection Act provides the following examples of physical abuse: “slapping, hitting, kicking, biting, choking, pinching, burning.” Physical abuse can also include the inappropriate use of drugs to “chemically restrain” a resident.

Sexual Abuse

Nonconsensual sexual contact between nursing home personnel and a resident, or between residents, is abusive. Sexual abuse may not involve touching. It could consist of forcing a resident to view pornography or other people’s sexual acts, or to undress in front of someone without a valid reason.

Emotional Abuse

The South Carolina Adult Protection Act defines emotional abuse as “deliberately subjecting a vulnerable adult to threats or harassment or other forms of intimidating behavior causing fear, humiliation, degradation, agitation, confusion, or other forms of emotional distress.”

Financial Exploitation

Nursing home residents can be easy targets for theft, and are more likely to be scammed or tricked into giving away their life savings. They are also frequently victims of identity theft and health care fraud, in which a facility charges for medical services that are not provided.

Neglect

Neglect may include not providing food, nutrition, medication or therapy; failing to provide for hygiene, including bathing and changing clothes or bed linens; or simply leaving a resident alone and unattended for lengthy periods.
