For many families, ensuring their loved one receives the right medications is one of the primary reasons for choosing a nursing home. With complicated medication regimens and fragile health, elderly residents are particularly vulnerable to medication mistakes. Unfortunately, medication errors are one of the most common—and dangerous—forms of nursing home neglect and can quickly lead to irreversible harm.
For many families, placing a loved one in a nursing home is a decision made out of care and concern for their safety. However, while physical and emotional abuse are well-known risks, financial exploitation is a quieter, often invisible danger that can rob seniors of their life savings and sense of security. Financial exploitation in nursing homes is an increasingly common issue, and understanding how it happens—and how to prevent it—is essential for any family.
Nursing homes are meant to offer care, community, and compassion for seniors who need support in their later years. Yet, for far too many residents, the experience can be marred by a more subtle, but equally harmful, form of mistreatment: emotional or psychological abuse. While physical abuse leaves visible marks, emotional abuse leaves scars that can last a lifetime—impacting seniors’ mental health, sense of safety, and overall quality of life.
Nursing homes are meant to be safe havens for our aging loved ones—a place where they can receive the care, dignity, and respect they deserve in their later years. Unfortunately, nursing home neglect is an ongoing and deeply troubling issue throughout the United States. While abuse is sometimes visible and shocking, neglect often goes unseen, quietly robbing seniors of their health, happiness, and even their lives. Understanding what nursing home neglect looks like, why it happens, and what families can do is critical for protecting those who are most at risk.
