The decision to put a loved one in a
nursing home is a very difficult one indeed. Most families put a great deal of time and effort into finding exactly the right home with skilled, caring staff who will take care of their loved one when they can no longer care for themselves. So it can come as a terrible shock when an elderly loved one is abused or neglected in what should be a professionally run nursing home or assisted living center. Nursing home negligence and abuse is seen as such a serious issue in this country that there are laws in all 50 states covering
elder abuse. Abuse can take many forms and includes physical, emotional, psychological, or sexual abuse; financial or material exploitation; neglect or abandonment.
