If you trusted a nursing home, assisted living facility or residential care facility to care for a family member or loved one, and now you suspect abuse, you are not alone.

Sadly, abuse among our elderly is a common occurrence.

Abuse can take many forms, ranging from neglect to physical assault. Elders that may be most susceptible to abuse include those with dementia or disabilities. No matter what form it takes, nursing home abuse is illegal and needs to be stopped.

In a survey conducted by The National Center on Elder Abuse, it was reported that elders who experience abuse had a 300% higher risk of death than those who had not been abused.

Incidents of abuse are rarely reported to the proper authorities. Residents may be reluctant to complain for fear of retaliation or embarrassment, and family and friends of the victim might be unaware of the common warning signs.

The only way to stop this abuse is to take legal action. CLICK BELOW to become involved in this lawsuit.
