Why is nursing home abuse becoming such an epidemic?

0

There are factors that shed light as to why elder abuse is occurring and why care facilities are experiencing such problems. Nursing home employees are usually paid significantly less than hospital employees, they are expected to do more work in a shorter period of time, and are dangerously understaffed. Because of these stressful working conditions, it is becoming increasingly difficult to attract and keep qualified, skilled staff that has been adequately trained. And since staff is required and at a shortage, the screening process of new hires is not as selective as it should be.
