Nursing Home Abuse

Choosing to place a loved one in a nursing home was likely a very difficult decision for your family. You expected that your loved one would be treated with dignity, respect and proper care. Yet many elderly residents of nursing homes are not treated with the care that is promised and that they deserve. Speaking up now will not only stop the abuse or neglect of your loved one, but will likely save other vulnerable people.
