Ontario Caregiver Neglect Attorneys

Standing Up for the Elderly Throughout the Inland Empire

Caregiver neglect occurs when in-house or nursing home staff caregivers fail to fulfill their professional responsibilities to provide timely and quality care to their patients. Caregiver neglect can be intentional, meaning the caregiver purposely limits necessary care to acquire financial gains or because of a more personal conflict with the patient. It can also be a side effect of scenarios where the caregiver is unable to fulfill their professional responsibilities due to illness, stress, lack of knowledge, or lack of resources to provide the necessary care.
