What is Nursing Home Neglect?
Nursing home residents are extremely vulnerable to acts of manipulation and abuse. Each year, there are approximately 2 million cases of nursing abuse reported across the country. Sadly, most cases go unreported because residents are threatened or manipulated by their exploitative caretakers. The only way to protect your loved one is to visit their facility and determine for yourself if you have grounds to file a claim. For this reason, it’s crucial that you understand what behaviors actively constitute “abuse” and “neglect.”
Types of Nursing Home Neglect
Negligence may be any of the following:
- Neglect of basic needs: This kind of neglect may happen when the facility doesn’t provide adequate hydration or nutrition, fails to address hygiene and incontinence, and fails to provide a safe environment to the resident.
- Medical neglect: Medical neglect can be the result of failure to address urgent medical needs and treatment for emergent conditions, such as diabetes or traumatic injuries.
