Understaffing is A Prime Reason For California Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Written by Adam Peck Category: Elder Law January 26th, 2013 1 min read

Understaffing affects nursing home employees by causing high turnover, low morale, fatigue and physical injuries. Poorly paid nursing assistants provide the most direct care, and demands placed upon them are often impossible to meet says San Diego Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Attorney Steven Peck,

Profit-driven multi million dollar corporations that own these institutions must be held accountable. The private-pay charge for a nursing home room is more than $5,000 a month. The charge for Medicaid residents is lower but still substantial. Yet, these facilities continue to be understaffed which causes our elder and dependant adults to be seriously neglected.
