Nursing Home Abuse

One of the most emotional decisions a person will make is placing an elderly or disabled loved one into a nursing home or other type of long-term care facility. Recognizing a parent, grandparent or family member requires day-to-day personal care in an environment that will also support medical or rehabilitative needs, which is beyond the capabilities of immediate family members, makes the decision no less heart-wrenching. Further complicating this difficult decision is finding the right facility, where you can fully trust that your loved one will receive the same care and compassion you would provide,in a safe, clean and professional environment.

Unfortunately, abuse, neglect and mistreatment are all too common in nursing homes, assisted living communities and other types of residential care facilities.
