Ohio Elder Abuse Attorney

News stories keep reminding us about the growing number of seniors in our country. One thing they don’t usually mention is the link between an increasing population of elderly citizens and elder abuse. This is a highly vulnerable population, especially when dementia and confusion take their toll. Families need to be alert to signs of abuse and be ready to take action rather than waiting for their elderly loved ones to report mistreatment.

Examples of elder abuse & Negligence

Elder abuse is illegal in Ohio and other states. Despite this, it occurs in skilled care facilities such as nursing homes and assisted living operations and in seniors’ own homes. Abusers can be licensed caregivers, friends or family members. Examples of elder abuse include:

  • Theft of money or property
  • Financial manipulation
  • Nursing home neglect that gives rise to malnutrition, dehydration or bedsores
  • Lack of oversight
  • Failure to provide assistive equipment such as railings, walkers or wheelchairs
  • Slapping and hitting
  • Emotional abuse

Whatever type of abuse your loved one suffered, our law firm can take action against those who were responsible and do our part to make things better for others in similar situations.
