Abusive words alone can harm an elderly loved one. Emotional or psychological abuse can be described as insults, threats, intimidation or harassment that results in pain or distress.
If you believe that a family member is being emotionally abused, you should contact the administrator of the facility as soon as possible. If your loved one is suffering from emotional abuse, chances are other residents of the nursing home are also suffering the same abuse. Emotional abuse can come in the form of physical and verbal humiliation, harassment, threat of punishment, deprivation and intimidation.
If you believe that your loved one has been neglect or abused, or if the neglect or abuse has lead to serious injury or death of a loved one, contact our office immediately at 866-559-0097 to speak with one of our experienced Illinois nursing home abuse attorneys.
