What Is Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect?
Nursing home abuse and neglect refer to situations where caregivers or facilities fail to meet the standard of care required to keep residents safe and healthy. This can involve intentional harm, but more often it results from understaffing, poor training, or cost-cutting decisions. According to the National Institute on Aging’s elder abuse resources, abuse may include physical harm, emotional mistreatment, financial exploitation, or neglect, such as failing to provide food, hygiene, or medical care. In many cases, the most serious injuries occur when warning signs are ignored. Federal oversight agencies such as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) set care standards for nursing facilities, yet violations still occur when facilities fail to maintain adequate staffing or proper supervision.
