Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse

State and Federal laws have been drafted to ensure that residents are treated with respect and are able to maintain their dignity while achieving the highest level of independence and health attainable.
Unfortunately, when the care provided does not meet these requirements, it is often due to understaffed nursing homes or poorly trained employees.
