What is the Omnibus Adult Protection Act?

A: The Omnibus Adult Protection Act was created in order to protect elders living in nursing homes or assisted living facilities against abuse and neglect. The act describes the elements that are prohibited in nursing homes under law. These include physical or psychological abuse, negligence, and exploitation. Physical or psychological abuse can be the most devastating for both the victim and their family. Financial exploitation often occurs in nursing homes that are understaffed or where the staff is under-paid.
