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.

I met Josh like 4 years ago when my Son was injured at Daycare. He was very concerned about the well being of my Child and Me. Very Understanding Professional and Just a great Staff. If You need a Lawyer that’s all about YOU this is the Place. I just closed a Case on 6/23/2021 from a injury on a Property. They handled everything because no one else would help Me. I’m forever grateful for Your hard Work and Time. Once again Thank You Josh and Sally.

My husband was referred to this law firm from another lawyer after his mother passed away while residing in a nursing home. Matt took on his case and we are pleased with how everything turned out. It took a long, long time to finally settle, but it was worth the wait. The staff here is friendly and I’d be happy to recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance.

I was referred to Harold by a family friend, and I couldn’t be happier. He took the time to listen to my case, answered all my questions and truly treated me like a friend not a client. His knowledge of medical malpractice is priceless he actually successfully won, one of the first medical malpractice cases in Greenville County.

Emotional & Psychological Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers in Greenville, SC
Were You Injured by a Defective Medical Tool?
Did you know that almost 12% of all nursing home abuse claims are claims against emotional and psychological abuse ? That number accounts for the highest in all major categories classified as abuse. According to nanha.org, the most common types of nursing home abuse cases are psychological and emotional abuse, financial exploitation , neglect , physical abuse and sexual abuse. If you have been subjected to emotional abuse by any nursing homes in the greater Florence, Kingstree, Sumter or Darlington area, please contact Christian & Christian Law immediately for a free legal consultation.
Types of Emotional Abuse
Emotional and psychological abuse can come in many forms and is usually hard to recognize unless you know the signs. Emotional abuse can include ridiculing, humiliating, intimidating or engaging in demeaning behavior. Common examples of emotional abuse in nursing homes are usually seen through verbal communication. In a national survey conducted by nanha.org, 40% of nursing home staff members admitted to psychologically abusing their elderly patients after reflecting on their experiences in the workplace. Because of the common occurrences, it’s very likely that if a loved one in Greenville, Lake City or Florence SC is acting strange or feels emotionless to family members, they could have experienced emotional nursing home abuse.
Signs of Emotional and Psychological Abuse
While emotional abuse is the most common type of nursing home abuse, it is also least recognizable. If you fear a loved one, especially a senior with cognitive disabilities like dementia or Alzheimer’s, is struggling with emotional abuse, you may want to look out for these signs:
- Withdrawal
- Unexplained emotions
- Loss of interest in favorite activities
- New behaviors
If you visit a loved one and notice any of the above behavior, it is imperative to talk to a senior official immediately. Withdrawal, new emotions, lack of interest in activities and new behaviors can look a lot like:
- Loss of outgoing attitude
- Staying in bed or refusing to participate in activities
- Crying, fear or anxiety
- Rocking, mumbling or other unusual new behaviors
If you recognize the signs above, you should also try to investigate which staff member your loved one is detracting from when given the chance to participate in nursing home activities. It’s common for elderly patients to feel emotionless or scared to be around a staff member that has been emotional abusing them. If you are worried about the care you or a loved one is receiving at a nursing home near Darlington or Sumter SC, reach out to someone you trust at the facility for help or call an Ombudsman to investigate these malpractices.
