Making the decision to place a loved one in a nursing home or residential care facility is never easy. Families trust these facilities to provide compassionate, attentive, and professional care—but unfortunately, not all nursing homes uphold this responsibility. When neglect or abuse occurs, it can have devastating consequences for some of society’s most vulnerable members.

​

Elder abuse is more common than many realize. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 1 in 6 people over the age of 60 experience some form of abuse in community settings, and shockingly, 2 in 3 staff members admit to committing abuse within the past year. No family expects their loved one to become a statistic, but the reality is that nursing home neglect and abuse happen far too often.
