Making the decision to move a family member into a nursing home facility is not an easy one. But these facilities do plenty to ensure you that your family member will be well cared for and receive the respect and attention they deserve. It is crucial to ensure that is true if you have decided to place your loved one in a nursing home. Humiliation of residents is an unfortunate reality in many nursing homes.
A person's health or age is never a reason for them to be the victim of abuse. Yet elderly mistreatment is a real concern and does affect many of the clients who live in these facilities. Caregivers need to be held responsible for their actions towards their clients in order to ensure that every person in a nursing home gets the respect, attention, and care that they deserve and that you expect.
One of the dangers of elderly maltreatment is the possibility of humiliation. Many patients in these facilities are heavily dependent on their care givers for many daily functions. Every adult should be treated with respect and not made to feel like a lesser person because of their need for assistance. Care takers can be caring for a person negligently if they are humiliating them in private or in front of other residents.
Humiliation can occur in a number of different forms including public humiliation and sexual humiliation. These can take place in private or in front of other residents and can have devastating emotional and mental effects on a person, no matter their age.
