Nursing
Home Abuse is a serious and inexcusable
act that can have devastating results
for its victims, their families and
loved ones. The sad truth about institutional
elder abuse is that older Americans
are often unable to defend themselves
against the physical, emotional, or
financial neglect and abuse that is
perpetrated by institutions, facilities,
and nursing home staff. Perhaps even
more egregious is the fact that it is
these very individuals that are paid
to provide elderly Americans with quality
nursing home care and services.

on many aspects of institutional elder
abuse and neglect. We also provide
