Nursing Home Abuse
We are supposed to live out our days in peace and with dignity, but this does not always happen.
All too often, the elderly suffer from abuse and neglect in nursing homes. They live in misery and suffer in silence because of the negligence of nursing home management and supervisory personnel.
If you suspect that your loved one is suffering from neglect or abuse at a nursing home or has suffered before passing away, you must take action.
