Abuse and neglect in nursing homes is all too common.
Many families turn to nursing homes or various types of residential care facilities for help caring for loved ones when they are unable to care for them in their own home. When families take this step, they do so believing that the facility will protect their family and provide a reasonable standard of care.
Unfortunately, elder abuse and neglect in nursing homes is all too common. Often these facilities are understaffed, or the staff lacks the necessary training to care for seniors or individuals with special needs. Medication errors, such as the failure to provide the right dosage per the doctor’s orders, is also widespread at nursing home facilities.
