Even though emotional abuse can happen under any sort of caretaker, this article will place emotional abuse in the context of a nursing home.

As you might imagine, this can be difficult with sometimes ornery patients and even more ornery families. Therein lies one of the more subtle causes of nursing home abuse - the emotional mistreatment of patients.
