Because of their physical dependence, nursing home residents are easy targets of physical abuse. This kind of maltreatment of the elderly is absolutely unacceptable, and deserves severe punishment to both the perpetrator and the nursing home that allowed abuse to occur. Physical abuse encompasses both sexual assault and any form of physical maltreatment. If you believe that a relative has been physically abused by a nursing home employee, don’t hesitate. Report the abuse and remove the resident from the home.
