Understanding Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse

Nursing home neglect occurs when caregivers fail to provide the necessary care and attention that residents need to maintain their health, safety, and well-being. Abuse, on the other hand, involves intentional actions that harm residents physically, emotionally, or financially.

Common examples of nursing home neglect include:

• Failing to provide adequate food, water, or medical care
• Ignoring hygiene needs, leading to infections or bedsores
• Failing to supervise residents, resulting in falls or injuries

Signs of abuse may include:

• Unexplained injuries, such as bruises or fractures
• Sudden emotional withdrawal or depression
• Financial exploitation or unusual changes in financial accounts
