NURSING HOME ABUSE

​

Sometimes it is just bad care, negligence. The failure of the nursing home to do things according to the accepted standards of care. Sometimes it is the failure to follow mandated government standards, rules and regulations. Other times it sadly is abuse or neglect. America’s greatest generation deserves better. Often it is for-profit nursing homes that are failing in the promises to properly care for our loved ones.
