What Constitutes Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect

Nursing home abuse and neglect occur in many different ways, and unfortunately they often go unreported. Even with state and federal regulations that specifically address and condemn nursing homes negligence, it continues to occur. Often, these abuses go unreported due to fear of retaliation by the caregiver, not having any awareness of how to report such an act of abuse and neglect, or the fact the patient is physically incapable of reporting the abuse themselves. It is essential for all family members and loved ones of the elderly to report any signs of physical abuse or neglect and to prevent the nursing home staff or administrators from allowing this harmful behavior to continue to occur to our most defenseless citizens.
