Sexual abuse may include any type of inappropriate touching or sexual contact with residents or patients, as well as forced nudity, rape, and other types of sexual abuse. Signs of sexual abuse may also include unexplained genital infections, bruising around the breasts, bloodied clothes and other signs. If you begin to notice any of these signs, it is crucial to report them immediately.
In extreme cases, when you believe the resident is in imminent danger, call 911 immediately. In almost all cases, removing your loved one from the facility in question ASAP is necessary. At our firm, we know the challenges families face when confronted with elder abuse issues and can help them take the swift steps necessary to rectify this situation and hold the responsible parties accountable.
We know that the results of this kind of abusive treatment can be devastating. We may be able to help. Request a free consultation with our team today.
