Nursing Home Abuse : Elopement

Nothing is Worse Than Receiving That One Dreaded Phone Call – Your Mother Wandered Out of Our Nursing Home and We Do Not Know Where She Is


What Is Elopement?
Elopement or wandering occurs when a resident leaves a nursing home without authorization or appropriate supervision.
Researchers reported that 50 percent of nursing home residents suffer from sort of dementia and found that 1 in 5 patients were prone to walk aimlessly through nursing home centers. These situations place nursing home residents- who are cognitively impaired - at serious risk for significant injuries.


Types of Injuries

The types of injuries residents can sustain in elopement cases include:
  • Weight loss from dehydration or malnourishment;
  • Fatigue from being left alone or outside for long periods of time;
  • Exposure to harsh heat or cold climate;
  • Ant bites and attacks from other animals;
  • Wrongful death or broken bones from being struck by cars on dark or unlit roadways.
