Nursing home abuse is an unfortunate issue to have to face, whether you or a family member are the victim. Abuse can be physical, the shaking, pushing, or hitting of an elderly person that in some cases may result in a personal injury or wrongful death. It can also be emotional and may include threats that even if they are not acted upon, are unacceptable. In some cases the abuse is sexual and is a violation against the patient's rights. It may be done intentionally or can be an act of negligence where the worker did not provide adequate care which resulted in an injury.

In any case, abuse goes against the care a nursing home is to provide and may be found punishable before a court.
