The harm that residents of a nursing home or assisted living facility suffer as the result of negligence, carelessness, or intentional acts is referred to as abuse. This can include physical, emotional, or financial abuse and it can come from the employees of the facility, the facility, or even other residents. It’s a serious issue that can often result in injury, illness, discomfort, or even death.
