Resident to Resident Abuse

Resident to Resident Abuse is the most horrible of all abuses and in nursing homes. Abuse may be due to staff members or caregivers but mainly it is due to surrounding residents. It is quite prevalent but less likely reported since it then becomes difficult to survive in same environment. Resident on resident abuse can be verbal or non-verbal abuse or physical or sexual abuse or sometimes uncontrollable totally.

Residents who suffer from mood disorders are prone to such abuses quickly. Caregivers agree that resident-to-resident abuse cases are quite common since elders are anyway generally going through under some or other mental distress. Federal nursing law gives an individual the right to be free from abuse and voice the opinion from fellow residents.

Are you abused by fellow residents?

It is quite similar to bully college cases which are also observed in old age homes. Nearly one out of five elders are involved in violent encounter with one or more fellow residents. These acts included of verbal physical, inappropriate, sexual behavior termed commonly as resident-to-resident mistreatment.

Are you physically exploited by elders group of residents?
Do you shy, fear or feel stressed out in certain group of elders?
Have you ever been injured or verbally abused amongst fellow seniors?
Do you feel like isolating yourself from others?

If answer for any one of above is yes, you are suffering from resident-to-resident elder abuse. Talk to nursing home authorities so that ensure that staff is well trained to recognize and report resident-to-resident elder mistreatment, provide guidelines and understand need and approach of individual elders.
