Signs of Nursing Home Abuse
Nursing homes and assisted living facilities are intended to provide your elderly parents, grandparent, family and friends a home where they can live and feel safe. The majority of residents in nursing homes require assistance with personal care or are unable to take care of themselves independently. Unfortunately, some nursing home employees choose to take advantage of nursing home residents’ vulnerability causing abuse instead of providing a safe and nurturing environment.
