TYPES OF NURSING HOME ABUSE

1. In a bowl, add all ingredients except cayenne and whisk until well mixed. If desired, add cayenne pepper a little at a time until you reach your preferred level of spiciness. 2. Serve immediately or, for an even better taste and texture, refrigerate for 1–2 days.

People might think that nursing home abuse is physical, but that’s not always the case. In fact, any situation causing a resident undue emotional and even financial distress is still abuse. Some specific examples of abuse include the following:

Assaults or attacks on the resident
