Questions About Nursing Home Abuse Lawsuits
in Denver and throughout Colorado and Wyoming
What are the types of nursing home abuse?
Nursing home abuse falls into the general categories of physical abuse and neglect. Physical abuse would include pinching, hitting, kicking, overmedication, and other physical acts. Neglect often takes the form of malnutrition, failure to groom, failure to properly medicate, and other negligent acts. Sadly, each year there are more than a few cases of rape and sexual assault of nursing home patients. Even worse, when a nursing home patient is raped, the perpetrator is often found to be a member of the nursing home staff.
What are some of the signs of physical abuse?
Some of the signs of physical abuse might include:
- Unexplained bruises and other injuries.

What should I do if I suspect nursing home abuse?
If at all possible, remove the abused person from the facility as soon as possible. Next, alert the appropriate agency, which you can locate at http://www.eldercare.gov.
