Elder sexual battery is a profoundly traumatic form of abuse, often underreported due to fear or cognitive impairment. The U.S. Department of Justice notes that less than 1 % of older adults report sexual abuse each year, underscoring the hidden nature of this crime.
Nursing homes have a duty to screen staff, monitor resident interactions, and report any allegations immediately. Failure to do so not only violates regulations but also shatters the trust of vulnerable elders and their families. The psychological impact of sexual abuse on an elder can include depression, anxiety, and loss of dignity. Families often struggle with shame and anger as they seek justice.
