Causes of Pennsylvania Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse
Unfortunately, many Pennsylvania nursing homes and their corporate owners place a far greater importance on earning large profits than providing their nursing home residents quality care. Some Pennsylvania nursing homes have their nurse staffing levels and medical supplies purposefully and drastically reduced to keep the facility’s costs down. This misguided priority creates an environment where it is impossible for the nursing home’s staff to complete their duties and provide adequate and proper care. Under such circumstances, nursing home abuse and neglect is inevitable.
There’s No Excuse for Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse
While many owners of Pennsylvania nursing homes are more interested in bigger profits than providing quality care to their residents, the truth is that abuse and neglect can be avoided. To keep costs down, it has been found that certain Pennsylvania nursing homes and care facilities deliberately keep medical supplies at a minimum and cut nurse staffing levels. These intentional reductions create an atmosphere that is ripe for neglect and abuse, making it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for the nursing staff to properly attend to the residents or complete their duties. Under the given circumstances, nursing home abuse and neglect is inevitable.
