What are some types of nursing home neglect?

The type of neglect may vary among individuals. However, there are four primary types of neglect:

Emotional or social neglect: This happens when a resident is repeatedly ignored, left alone, or accidentally snapped at by overstressed nursing home staff.

Personal hygiene neglect: This type of neglect takes place when a resident does not receive adequate help with cleaning, bathing, laundry, brushing their teeth, and other activities related to personal hygiene.

Basic needs neglect: In this type of neglect, a resident is not provided reasonable food, water, or a safe and clean environment.

Medical needs neglect: This happens when a nursing home facility fails to provide adequate attention, prevention, or medication for a resident’s concerns relating to such matters as a bed sore, infection, cut, diabetes, cognitive disease, and mobility.

    My aunt stays in a nursing home. A fire broke out in the room due to a short circuit. She got a burn injury on her hand and was hospitalized. What should I do to claim compensation?

    When I visited the nursing home that my aunt is living in, I found that the facility is acutely understaffed. I strongly feel that my aunt has been neglected. What can I do to right the situation?
