When a nursing home fails to provide proper care, the consequences extend beyond the facility itself. Habbas & Associates works with San Francisco families to address harm, protect vulnerable individuals, and hold facilities accountable when standards are not met.
What Is Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect?
Nursing home abuse and neglect refer to situations where residents are not provided with the care necessary to maintain their health and safety. While some cases involve intentional misconduct, many stem from preventable conditions such as inadequate staffing or insufficient training.
According to the National Institute on Aging, elder abuse may involve physical harm, emotional distress, financial exploitation, or neglect, including failure to provide basic needs like food, hygiene, and medical attention. Regulatory agencies such as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) set clear standards, yet violations continue when facilities fail to meet those expectations.
