When families place their loved ones in nursing homes, they expect an environment of safety, dignity, and compassion. Sadly, for many residents in Ohio and across the United States, the threat doesn’t come only from neglectful staff—but from other residents.
Resident-to-resident abuse occurs when one resident harms another physically, emotionally, or sexually. Though it may seem rare or accidental, these incidents often reflect serious failures in supervision, staffing, and resident assessment.
When families entrust a loved one to a nursing home, they expect the facility to provide safety, care, and respect. Unfortunately, not all forms of abuse are physical. One of the most insidious—and increasingly common—forms of elder mistreatment is financial exploitation.
Across Ohio and the United States, thousands of nursing home residents fall victim to theft, fraud, or manipulation every year. Unlike physical neglect, financial exploitation often happens quietly, under the guise of trust or care.
When most people think of nursing home abuse, they picture physical harm—bruises, injuries, or neglect of medical needs. Yet one of the most damaging and underreported forms of mistreatment leaves no visible scars: emotional abuse.
In nursing homes across Ohio and the United States, emotional or psychological abuse quietly destroys the dignity, trust, and mental health of countless seniors. It is often harder to detect than physical abuse, but its impact can be equally—if not more—devastating.
Falls are among the most common and devastating accidents in nursing homes. For elderly residents, even a single fall can lead to broken bones, head injuries, loss of independence, or death. Families who trust nursing homes to provide safety are often shocked when their loved one suffers a preventable fall.
Across Ohio and the United States, thousands of nursing home residents experience falls every year—many of which result directly from negligence. These incidents are not just accidents; they are frequently failures in supervision, staffing, or facility safety.
