Possible Assailants
Without proper hiring procedures, security measures, and vigilance in observation, a nursing home can become a place where your loved ones are at a heightened risk of sexual abuse. There are various groups of people who may attempt to take advantage of your loved ones, including the following:
- Nursing home staff
- Other residents
- Strangers
Family members, such as a spouse who wishes to continue a sexual relationship with their partner who is no longer mentally capable of giving consent.
As the caregivers for their residents, it is the responsibility of the nursing home to ensure that these violations are not allowed to pass.
