Main Cause of Nursing Home Abuse

In my experience, the number one cause of abuse, negligence, and wrongful death in nursing homes is the lack of adequate staffing. The best nursing homes hire enough trained nurses and aides to make it possible for staff to provide all patients with the care they need. Others keep staff numbers low to maximize profits.

This benefit to the nursing home’s profit margin comes at the expense of nursing home residents. If nursing homes routinely do not employ enough trained staff members to properly care for residents, staff cannot provide even the most routine care.

They can also quickly develop bad habits, such as ignoring residents or relying on antipsychotic medications to chemically restrain residents.
