🔍 Understanding Nursing Home Abuse

Forms of Abuse & Neglect

Nursing home mistreatment can take many forms:

• Physical abuse: Hitting, bruising, unsafe restraint, or unnecessary use of force

• Emotional/psychological abuse: Verbal threats, humiliation, isolation or intimidation that harms mental health

• Sexual abuse: Non-consensual touching or sexual harassment of vulnerable individuals

• Neglect: Failure to provide food, water, hygiene, safe housing, or medical care

• Financial exploitation: Theft, fraudulent billing, or misuse of personal information or assets

Detecting signs early can help prevent further harm. Warning signals include unexplained injuries, sudden weight loss, poor hygiene, unusual financial transactions, emotional withdrawal, or abrupt changes in behavior

⚖️ Colorado Law: Rights & Deadlines

Statute of Limitations
Under Colorado Revised Statutes § 13‑80‑102, injured adults—including those suffering institutional abuse or neglect—generally must file a lawsuit within two years from the date of injury or discovery  Wrongful-death claims also follow a two‑year limit

Available Legal Protections

• Punitive damages are possible if the facility or staff acted with willful, wanton, fraudulent, or reckless disregard for resident safety

• Colorado’s Adult Protective Services laws and the Colorado Protective Services for Adults at Risk (C.R.S. 26‑3.1‑101) offer additional safeguards and reporting mechanisms

• Federal protections under the Nursing Home Reform Act help ensure residents’ rights to dignity, privacy, appropriate care, complaint filing, and freedom from abuse
