Nursing Home Neglect

About Nursing Home Neglect

Nursing home neglect happens when a facility fails to provide the basic care a resident needs to stay healthy and safe — adequate food and water, proper hygiene, attentive supervision, or timely medical care. The signs can be quiet at first: dehydration, weight loss, repeated falls, or conditions left untreated. Under California's Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act, neglect of an elder or dependent adult can give rise to legal remedies. Families may be able to seek compensation for medical expenses, care costs, and a loved one's suffering, and you can share a few details and connect with a California attorney.
