Nursing Home Abuse

Nursing Home Abuse Affects Families

In the case of nursing home abuse, entire families are affected when a vulnerable adult suffers elder abuse. Unfortunately, nursing home abuse is on the rise. Class action lawsuits against nursing homes are being taken in some states due to the increased incidents of nursing home abuse. In the Bay Area, as in other areas of the country, the nursing home resident / caregiver ratio should be 5 to 1, but often it is not. Overworked employees in an understaffed nursing home can make mistakes, neglect a patient, and overlook other employees who are being hurtful to the residents. When that neglect or abuse occurs, the family and their attorneys need to fight for the rights of those who can no longer stand up for themselves.
