When a loved one is placed in a care facility, trust is everything. Habbas & Associates helps Oakland families take action when that trust is broken by neglect, abuse, or preventable harm.
Understanding What Constitutes Abuse and Neglect
Nursing home abuse and neglect can take many forms, some obvious and others more subtle. These cases may involve:
- Physical abuse or unexplained injuries
- Emotional or psychological mistreatment
- Neglect of basic needs such as hygiene, nutrition, or medication
- Failure to properly monitor high-risk residents
- Unsafe living conditions
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) outlines care standards that facilities are required to meet, particularly for vulnerable populations who rely on consistent supervision and medical attention.
