Nursing home personnel have a duty of care that many people might call a sacred duty. They are charged with protecting the welfare of vulnerable people who are in long-term care facilities because they are unable to care for themselves. Whether nursing home residents are there primarily because they are elderly or because they are disabled, family members rightfully expect nurses and attendants to follow accepted standards of care.
