Nursing home patients in Arizona often rely completely on their caregivers to properly medicate them. Yet there are times when these caregivers fail to follow through on those entrusted to their care. Caregivers may intentionally overmedicate their charges in order to keep them from complaining or voicing concerns about their treatment. Sometimes treatment or medication vital to a patient’s health may be withheld at a nursing facility. Such failure to adequately care for those in their care is unacceptable, and such abuse or neglect at Arizona nursing homes is covered by both Arizona law and the Arizona Adult Protective Services Act.
