About Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Nursing home abuse occurs when a caregiver mistreats an elderly patient or resident in some way. Abuse may take on different forms: physical, sexual, emotional, or financial. Physical abuse is most often associated with nursing home abuse, wherein a caregiver physically mistreats a patient by striking or otherwise harming him or her. However, abuse may also be sexual in nature, as in the case of molestation or rape, or may affect an elderly patient psychologically or financially.  

Nursing home neglect typically refers to negligent conduct in nursing homes. As opposed to physical violence and intentional wrongdoing, neglect stems from a failure to provide standard care. Malnutrition, dehydration, medical malpractice and lack of proper hygiene may all stem from nursing home neglect. Poor supervision of elderly patients may be another form of neglect in this way.

Whether an elderly person is exposed to nursing home abuse or nursing home neglect in a San Francisco nursing home, it may result in serious injury and even wrongful death in some cases.
