In Phoenix, Arizona and Taking Cases Nationwide

The Prevalence of Nursing Home Abuse or Neglect

Nursing home abuse is an all too common reality for our older family members and close friends in the United States. Of the estimated 17,000 nursing homes nationwide, over 30% have been cited for violations that could subject residents to harm.

Common violations include

  • Physical, sexual and financial abuse
  • Abuse from other patients
  • Neglect

Abuse or neglect can lead to the catastrophic injuries and wrongful deaths of nursing home residents. Unfortunately, victims of nursing home abuse and neglect are usually hesitant to report ongoing abuse for fear of the reprisals.
