Nursing Home Abuse
Every elderly person in a nursing home or assisted living facility has the right to feel safe, respected, and properly cared for. Sadly, this is not always the reality.
The Importance of Acting Quickly
If you or a loved one suspect abuse or neglect in a care facility, it's critical to take immediate action. Vulnerable individuals, particularly those with dementia or disabilities, are often the targets of mistreatment.

Nursing home abuse takes many forms, from neglect to severe physical harm. The National Center on Elder Abuse reports that seniors who suffer abuse are at a 300% higher risk of death compared to those who do not experience abuse.
