California Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer Blog
What does social media have to do with nursing home abuse and neglect in Fremont or elsewhere in the Bay Area? The two things — social media and nursing home abuse — might not seem like they would have any relation to one another. However, as various types of social media platforms have become increasingly popular among wide-ranging age groups, and forms of psychological and emotional abuse continue to occur in nursing home and assisted-living facility settings, the two things have, unfortunately, coincided.
According to a recent report from McKnight’s Long-Term Care News, more than 10 years after a large-scale investigation addressed nursing home staff members posting humiliating, belittling, and embarrassing photos of residents on social media accounts, this behavior persists. Our Fremont nursing home abuse and neglect lawyers can tell you more about the recent report, and we can help you to seek accountability if this type of unconscionable act has harmed an elderly loved one in your family.
