Pennsylvania / New Jersey / California
The Absence of Care
Nursing homes are charged with the duty of providing residents the care necessary to maintain the resident’s physical, mental and psycho social well being. Naturally as a resident ages these three health components will deteriorate. This is inevitable. However, a nursing home facility, by law, must not deprive a resident of the care necessary to attain their optimum health. If the nursing home does, it may be neglect.
