Nursing Home Abuse Statistics
The prevalence of all types of elder abuse stands at just under 10% of the nationwide nursing home resident population. That equates to about 160,000 victims. One study found that verbal abuse was the most commonly reported type at 9%, followed by financial abuse (3.5%) and physical abuse (less than 1%).
Types of Nursing Home Abuse
There are four main categories of nursing home abuse: physical, emotional, financial, and sexual.
In many cases, nursing home residents are the victims of more than one type of abuse.
