What Is the Difference Between Assisted Living Facilities & Nursing Homes?
Standard nursing homes provide intensive care, medical treatment, supervision, and daily assistance to residents. Patients often need help doing simple tasks, such as going to the bathroom, eating, and walking. On the other hand, residents in assisted living facilities may require some assistance with daily tasks and chores, but they generally have a higher degree of independence.
How to Identify Abuse in Assisted Living Facilities
Even though assisted living facilities provide a higher degree of independence, patients may still suffer abuse or neglect. Abuse could involve physical violence, such as punching, kicking, hitting, or shoving, or sexual violence, such as rape or forced nudity. It may also involve emotional manipulation or belittling.
Signs of abuse or neglect include:
- Broken eyeglasses
- Signs of restraints on ankles or wrists
- Bloody underwear
- Fractures or broken bones
- Depression or emotional changes
- Unexplained STDs or genital infections
- Fear of particular staff members
- Dehydration or sudden weight loss
- Bed sores
- Changes in consciousness
- Anxiety or withdrawn behavior
If you notice any warning signs of abuse or neglect at an assisted living facility, it is important to transfer your elderly family member to a different facility immediately. It is also important to notify the management of the abuse or neglect, and to file a police report. You should get in touch with one of our experienced Greenville nursing home abuse lawyers right away. We will use evidence, such as police reports, medical records, witness statements, pictures or videos of the abuse, and other documentation, to support your claim. From filing the initial claim to representing you in negotiation or litigation, our legal team will aggressively uphold your right to a settlement.

Client Reviews
Everyone there was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. My car was totaled, and I was a little intimidated talking with a couple of other lawyers in Greenville. But with Christian and Christian, not only did they answer my questions, but they did so in a way that made what could have been a hectic situation, easy. Overall, an excellent experience with high quality lawyers who truly go above and beyond and really try to get you the results or answers you need.
