Abandonment in Nursing Home Facilities
Abandonment occurs in a nursing home when a resident of the nursing home is left unattended without the ability to obtain necessary food, proper clothing, shelter, or medical care. Unfortunately, residents are sometimes ignored and neglected by caregivers. Nursing homes are not excluded from this form of abuse because of the shortage of nurses and caregivers today.
Symptoms of Nursing Home Abandonment
- Nursing home employees that leave a helpless individual parked in a public place unattended is committing abuse.
- Involuntary seclusion and exclusion from friends and visitors is abusive and illegal.
- When an adult's phone calls or mail is not private, the nursing home resident may be a victim of abandonment.
- Anytime a nursing home resident reports abandonment, the report should be investigated.
