Nursing home abuse and neglect occurs when a care facility causes injury to a resident because of improper care. It can be difficult to tell when abuse or neglect takes place because some signs of abuse may be difficult to detect. Because of a nursing home resident's limitations, family and friends are often called upon to ensure that a loved one or friend receives the care he or she is entitled to.Federal and state laws provide certain rights that are designed to insure appropriate care for nursing home residents. If you suspect your loved one is the victim or neglect or abuse, contact King, Kitrick & Jackson, for advice on your loved one’s rights and how to protect those rights.
