When loved ones can no longer take care of themselves, a nursing home is supposed to be a safe and supportive solution to care for their medical needs.

Abuse and neglect can occur as a result of the improper care delivered by registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nurse assistants, doctors, maintenance workers, or any other employees of a long-term care facility.
