Inadequate Staffing and Poor Training Can Lead to Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
Nursing homes are essentially a business; and as such, the owners expect to make a profit like any other business. Sometimes, in a effort to turn a profit, nursing home operators may try to cut corners by cutting back on staffing. In other instances, they hire poorly trained staff members. If you or someone you know is residing in a facility with inadequate operating funds and poor staffing, it is only a matter of time before there will be an injury or even a wrongful death.
