If You Suspect Nursing Home Abuse or Neglect, Call Our Kansas City Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer.
Nursing homes have a moral, spiritual, and legal obligation to care for the seniors trusted to their facility. Unfortunately, that does not help the countless seniors who have been abused emotionally, physically, sexually, and financially throughout the United States.

How Common Is Nursing Home Abuse?
In a study conducted in 2000, 44% of 2,000 nursing home residents self-reported incidents of abuse, and 95% reported incidents of neglect. More recent studies indicate that abuse of seniors and the elderly is increasing over time. This horrific epidemic costs the nation billions in health care expenses every year, but even worse—abuse increases an elderly person’s odds of dying in the next two years by 300%.
Elder abuse comes in multiple forms:
- Neglect (14%)
- Physical Abuse (29%)
- Emotional Abuse (21%)
- Sexual Abuse (7%)
- Financial Abuse (7%)
Abuse is particularly prevalent among dementia patients, with a 50% rate of incidence. The New York Elder Abuse Prevalence Study found that for every case that is reported to an agency, there are 24 more than go unreported. There are millions of abused elders suffering at the hands of their caretakers in different but equally damaging ways. Our firm knows what needs to be done about this heartbreaking trend.
