Legal Dictionary: Nursing Home Abuse
Nursing home abuse cases arise when residents in nursing homes or other long-term care facilities suffer physical and/or psychological harm because of the negligent or intentional acts of their caregivers. A care facility can be held liable for nursing home abuse based on the provision of inadequate care, negligence in screening of employees, inadequate supervision of employees, and improper maintenance of the premises, among other things.
