Whether we want to admit it or not, the incidence of elder abuse is on the rise. Negligent care and nursing home abuse has become a serious and widespread problem. According to the National Center on Elder Abuse, between the years of 1986 and 1994, the number of cases of elder abuse jumped from roughly 120,000 to 240,000.


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.
