Signs Of Nursing Home Elder Sexual Abuse

Elder sexual abuse in a nursing home can manifest in various ways. Here are some possible signs to be aware of:

• Unexplained bruising or injuries, particularly in intimate areas
• Sudden changes in behavior such as withdrawal, fear or agitation
• Torn, stained or bloody clothing or bedding
• Diagnosis of an unexplained sexually transmitted condition
• Reports from other residents or staff about inappropriate conduct

If you notice any of these warning signs, do not hesitate to take action, as early intervention can prevent further harm and lead to full accountability.
