Nursing home neglect occurs when a facility fails to meet the standard of care, causing harm or distress to residents. Neglect can appear in various forms, including lack of assistance with hygiene, inadequate nutrition, insufficient medical attention, or failure to address safety needs. These oversights can lead to infections, malnutrition, bedsores, emotional trauma, and a diminished quality of life. Families place their trust in nursing homes to provide compassionate, attentive care, and neglect represents a severe breach of this trust. If your loved one is suffering due to neglect, pursuing legal action can help secure compensation for their suffering, medical needs, and loss of dignity.
