Physical and Sexual Assault in Nursing Homes

Families place enormous trust in nursing homes to protect vulnerable residents from harm. When a resident suffers physical abuse, sexual assault, or emotional mistreatment, that trust is shattered. Nursing home abuse can leave lasting physical injuries, emotional trauma, and psychological damage.

At Ciresi Conlin, our Minnesota nursing home abuse attorneys represent residents and families harmed by physical assaults, sexual abuse, and other forms of mistreatment. We work to hold nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and corporate operators accountable when they fail to protect those in their care.

Common Signs of Nursing Home Abuse
• Unexplained bruises, cuts, or fractures
• Sudden fear of staff members or other residents
• Behavioral changes or withdrawal
• Signs of sexual assault
• Frequent emergency room visits
• Inconsistent explanations regarding injuries

How Nursing Homes Can Prevent Abuse
Facilities have a duty to properly screen employees, supervise residents, investigate complaints, and maintain adequate staffing levels. When they fail to do so, serious harm can occur.
