Know the Signs of Nursing Home Sexual Abuse

April 22, 2019 By The Law Office of J. Clay Mccaslin

The decision to place a loved one in a nursing home is never easy, but it’s often the only choice when constant care and supervision is required. Even when you do your research and choose the best facility you can find, things can go wrong. And while families may know to look for signs of neglect and other types of abuse, many do not realize that the threat of sexual abuse is very real. Sexual abuse in nursing homes is far too common, and rarely reported by victims. Many are unable to speak up for themselves. Others are afraid or embarrassed. Some who speak up just aren’t taken seriously. If someone you love is in a nursing home, you need to know the signs of sexual abuse.

  • Pelvic injury

  • Bleeding from the genitals or anus
