Nursing home abuse and nursing home neglect are generally intertwined in long-term care contexts, as acts of abuse can be neglectful, and vice versa. In a nursing home or long-term care context, elder neglect is a failure (intentional or not) to provide an elder person with the care to prevent them from being harmed or experiencing unnecessary pain, suffering, anxiety, or risk of danger. Elder abuse is the intentional infliction of injury, intimidation, or unreasonable confinement, and/or the deprivation of care or services, which results in physical harm, pain, and emotional/mental anguish.
