What is Nursing Home Abuse and What Can I Do About it?
Thousands of nursing home residents are injured or die each year. Why? Many nursing homes are focused more on achieving higher profits at the expense of sufficient care for their residents.
Not only is it reasonable to expect your loved one to be properly treated and cared for in their golden years, it is law.
Nursing home abuse, negligence, and neglect may result in any one of these results:
- Bedsores
- Broken bones
- Malnutrition
- Physical abuse
- Verbal abuse
- Slip and fall injuries
- Use of restraints for discipline or convenience
- Malpractice on the part of doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, therapists, and/or administrators
