North Carolina Nursing Home Sexual Assault Lawyer

North Carolina Nursing Home Sexual Assault Attorney

When your loved one enters a nursing home, you expect the facility and its staff to care for them with dignity and respect. One of the very last things that should happen at a nursing home is sexual abuse. Yet, sexual assault and other types of physical assaults against residents is surprisingly prevalent in facilities throughout the United States. Abuse and assault against a nursing home resident can be by nursing home staff, or by another resident. A skilled North Carolina Nursing Home Sexual Assault Lawyer at Pleasant Law, PLLC can help you seek justice and ensure your loved one is protected.

It can be difficult to accurately measure just how frequently sexual abuse occurs in nursing homes. The Administration for Community Living (ACL) identified over 20,000 sexual abuse complaints made by nursing home residents over a 20-year period. However, many instances of sexual abuse likely go unnoticed. This is most prevalent among patients, especially women, with dementia or some other condition that prevents them from recounting events and communicating abuse to family members.
