Watching our grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles grow older has its own set of
stresses. As those we love fall victim to the ailments of aging, we worry about our
lives without them, all the while learning to provide care for them. We look to
medicines, doctors, diets, vitamins—anything we can find—in hopes of keeping them
healthy and happy and able to live as independently as they wish to. When finally the
complications get too great, we turn to an assisted living, nursing home, or other long-
term care facility to continue the thoughtful and conscientious care we are no longer
able to provide.
Many of these facilities provide excellent care, however, far too many do not. Often
understaffed with underpaid and poorly trained employees, many nursing homes push
the bottom line so far that they endanger the lives of their patients.
Neglected, abused, and threatened, nursing home residents may suffer physically and
emotionally. Painful bedsores, broken bones, or even premature death can result from
neglectful and outright abusive treatment.
All nursing homes and long-term care facilities that receive federal funds must comply
with certain federal regulations and laws. These regulations and laws set out in detail
the type and quality of care that residents in these facilities must receive. Are your
family members receiving the appropriate standard of care?
If you believe that your love one is not, contact us, we can help!
The National Center for Elder Abuse reports that neglect of our senior citizens' basic
needs is the number one type of elder abuse. Physical abuse by caregivers ranks as the
second most common form of elder mistreatment. Almost one million senior citizens
are victimized each year.
When abuse or neglect occurs in nursing homes and other assisted living facilities, it is
often referred to as "institutional abuse." Institutional abuse can include physical,
emotional, and unbelievably sexual abuse.
