Nursing home abandonment. What does it mean? Simply put, it means that your elder loved one is not receiving the care and attention that he or she needs and deserves. It means that staffers aren’t there to keep your loved one safe, that staffers aren’t there to properly feed or clothe your loved one, that staffers aren’t there to make sure of your loved one’s physical and mental health.
