Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Nursing home abuse and neglect refer to harmful actions or failures to provide proper care to residents in long-term care facilities. This can include physical, emotional, or financial abuse, as well as neglecting basic needs such as hygiene, nutrition, and medical care. In the context of medical malpractice law, it may involve legal claims against caregivers or facilities that fail to meet accepted standards of care, leading to injury or harm. Victims of such abuse have the right to seek compensation for their suffering and seek accountability for the negligent actions of those responsible for their care.
