Riverside Nursing Home and Elder
Abuse Attorneys
Elder abuse
is on the rise. According to the
National Center on Elder Abuse,
between 1 and 2 million Americans
age 65 or older have been injured,
exploited, or otherwise mistreated
by someone they depended on for care
or protection.
Now,
for the first time, the Senate and
the House of Representatives are
considering legislation, The Elder
Justice Act of 2007, S. 1070 and
H.R. 1783, designed to draw national
attention to this sensitive issue.
Although the bill has basically been
sitting in Congress for the past 5
years, it looks like it’s finally
going to get the support it needs.
With
the number of people over the age of
65, a projected 18% of the
population by 2025, we’ll soon have
more people in nursing homes,
hospitals and private homes than
ever before. Which means our
vigilance in protecting the rights
of the abused is even more critical.
Nursing home abuse and neglect are
usually a result of one of the
following:
 |
negligent
care |
|
|
physical
abuse |
|
|
sexual abuse |
|
|
financial
exploitation |
One
of the biggest problems we face in
trying to protect our elders is that
seniors often fail to report the
abuse, which allows not only that
abuse to continue but it encourages
the behavior to continue with
everyone in that person’s care.
That’s why it’s vitally important to
pay attention and look for signs of
mistreatment or abuse.
