According to statistics in the State of California, elder abuse and neglect is certainly very underreported. Many institutions including assisted living and skilled nursing facilities are getting away with elder abuse and neglect says California Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Attorney Steven Peck.
Clearly such unwarranted things that transpire in long term care facilities include infections, pressure ulcers also known as bed sores, dehydration, and malnutrition. Many of these items will also cause the death of a compromised elder.
Understaffing is also a major problem in these facilities and can be attributed to neglect and the lack of care causing serious personal injury.
