Nursing home abuse or neglect can occur in many different ways, resulting in the permanent injury or death of your loved one. Unfortunately, nursing home neglect and abuse may result from understaffing, a lack of qualifications, inadequate maintenance of a facility and its equipment, inadequate background checks, or the inadequate training of staff.
