Nursing Home Elderly Assault Lawyers Las Vegas
Nursing home abuse can take place on an emotional or verbal level. Assault is defined as any type of violent act committed against another individual.
According to a report on nursing home abuse issued by the U.S. Government Accountability Office, more than 30 percent of all nursing homes in the U.S. have been cited for jeopardizing the health of their elderly patients. What’s more shocking, perhaps, is the fact that about 25 percent of the nursing home staff who are prosecuted for abusing patients have a past criminal record, about 20 percent of which have faced previous charges involving violence and/or theft.

Signs of Nursing Home Assault
It may take some time for the signs of nursing home assault and abuse to become present due to a patient’s shame, dementia or lack of physical complications. When signs do arise, however, they typically include:
- Abnormal cuts and bruising
- Bone fractures
- Inexplicable loss of hair
- Changes in behavior between the patient and the nursing home staff, or between the nursing home staff and the family members
