Nursing Home Neglect vs. Nursing Home Abuse
Nursing home abuse is almost always active aggression, willful exploitation,
or other deliberate action taken in order to harm residents. Nursing home
neglect is a form of abuse. It is more passive in nature and doesn’t
necessarily always involve the level of sinister intent present in cases
of physical, sexual, or verbal abuse. However, the consequences are just
as devastating.
Nursing home neglect stems from failure to provide appropriate, reasonable,
and attentive care, whether by an individual caregiver or by nursing home
administrative staff. Regardless of whether it stems from caregiver negligence,
understaffing, or anything else, neglect can result in bacterial infections,
exacerbated health problems, delayed medical, avoidable death, and other
harmful, deadly problems.
