NURSING HOME NEGLECT

It is an unfortunate fact that elderly loved ones can sometimes develop incapacitating physical or emotional conditions that require more care than one can provide at home. When this happens, nursing homes provide a much needed service. However, not all nursing homes are the same, and no matter how diligent one may be in choosing a place of care for a loved one, some nursing homes may not live up to their responsibilities.

Having to place a loved one in a nursing home is an emotionally laden decision, and sometimes the decision has to be made quickly, such as when a loved one is sent straight from a hospital to a care facility. In choosing a nursing home, you are at the mercy of that facility’s representation of itself as a safe haven.

With all the strict regulations governing nursing homes, one might think that any of them would provide a safe haven for an aged family member, but sadly, this is not true. The fact is that thousands of nursing home abuse and neglect cases are tried every year. It is a sad comment on our society, but it is true nonetheless.

Statistics cite that nursing home abuse and neglect occurs due to reasons like, staff shortages, low wages, poor screening in the hiring of staff, or inadequate training. While these may be causes, they are certainly not excuses. There simply is no excuse for abuse or neglect being suffered in a nursing home.
