Nursing home abuse happens when a resident is harmed, mistreated, neglected, or exploited by caregivers, staff members, other residents, or even visitors. It can occur in large facilities, small care homes, assisted living centers, and rehabilitation facilities.
Abuse may be intentional, but neglect can also cause serious harm. A resident may suffer because staff members are poorly trained, overworked, careless, or failing to follow basic care standards.
Nursing home abuse may include:
- Physical abuse
- Emotional or verbal abuse
- Neglect
- Financial exploitation
- Sexual abuse
- Medication errors
- Poor hygiene care
- Unsafe living conditions
No resident should have to suffer in silence. Older adults and vulnerable residents deserve protection, compassion, and proper care every day.
