When a loved one is harmed in a care facility, the situation demands more than concern—it requires action. Habbas & Associates works with Los Angeles families to protect vulnerable individuals and pursue accountability where standards of care have failed.
What Is Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect?
Nursing home abuse and neglect occur when caregivers or facilities fail to meet the standard of care required to keep residents safe. While some cases involve intentional harm, many arise from preventable issues such as poor supervision, lack of training, or insufficient staffing.
The National Institute on Aging explains that elder abuse can include physical harm, emotional mistreatment, financial exploitation, or neglect, such as failing to provide proper hygiene, nutrition, or medical care. Federal oversight agencies like the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) establish care standards, but violations still occur when facilities fail to maintain those requirements.
