Nursing Home Neglect
All nursing home residents have the right to be treated with respect and dignity, and free from both negligence and abusive behavior. Unfortunately, nursing homes and their employees sometimes cause physical or psychological harm to their patients, who are among the most vulnerable to victimization.
It is your legal right to start proceedings against nursing homes for negligence if you or someone you love is hurt due to abuse or neglect. Common nursing home perpetrators of neglect or abuse can include employees, administrators, volunteers, or even other residents. Nursing homes are required to maintain minimum standards of care, and can be held accountable for the failure to do so.
