New Jersey Psychological Abuse Attorneys

When an elderly individual moves to a nursing home or other assisted living facility, they are usually dependent upon the caretakers in that establishment to provide for their physical, mental, and emotional needs. Sadly, some employees mistreat the residents in their care, subjecting them to psychological abuse and causing these residents great suffering and humiliation.

While a nursing home worker may feel powerful within their position at a nursing home, they’re subject to the same laws everyone else must follow, and nursing home employees who inflict psychological or emotional abuse on those they are supposed to care for may face serious legal consequences. If you’re looking to take legal action against a negligent or abusive caretaker, we may be able to help. For more information, contact the New Jersey nursing home psychological abuse lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., by calling 800-346-5529.

Fighting Back after Abuse

If someone you love has suffered emotional abuse in a nursing home because of a worker at that facility, you may be able to take legal action against that individual. This sort of behavior is completely unacceptable, and it is important that those responsible are held accountable for such inexcusable wrongdoing.

Contact an experienced New Jersey nursing home abuse attorney immediately if your loved one has suffered any of the following because of a nursing home employee:

  • Humiliation
  • Isolation
  • Verbal Abuse

While these legal actions can’t undo the harm caused by an abuser, they may be able to prevent your loved one and others from experiencing similar abuse in the future.
