Nursing Home Neglect Attorney In Virginia Beach, Virginia

Nursing home neglect is a grave issue that happens when a facility does not offer its residents the necessary care they deserve. This can manifest in many forms, from inadequate access to medical facilities, disregard for hygiene norms, physical constraints to the alarming act of intentional deprivation of the necessary sustenance like food and water. The majority of times, this form of maltreatment is arduous to identify, as the victims often are unable to voice their issues due to cognitive limitations or fear.

Given the enormity of the issue at hand, it's estimated that across the United States, around 2.1 million elderly individuals fall prey to some form of elder maltreatment annually. More astounding is the fact that for every reported nursing home abuse case, there could be five more that remain unnoticed or unreported. Physical abuse tops the list for the most common type of neglect inflicted on the elderly in such facilities. However, financial manipulation, neglect, sexual abuse, and emotional torment aren't far behind. The impact of these actions on the lives of the elderly is profound, leading to severe physical injuries and psychological distress.
