Nursing Home Abuse

When a loved one gets too old to take care of him or herself, we feel it is better to send them to a nursing home. In most cases, it is a better option to send the elder of your home to an assisted living facility, because the doctors and nurses who work in the nursing homes are certified to take care of senior citizens. People send their parents, grandparents, or any older relative to these nursing homes because they believe the doctors and nurses can provide better assistance than they can at their own home. However, people never send their loved ones to these types of places knowing that they are being abused, and not being given the proper care. In a report from ABC News online, “ Elderly Abused at 1 in 3 Nursing Homes: Report,” by David Ruppe, it is written that, “The study prepared by the minority (Democratic and Independent) staff of the Special Investigations Division of the House Government Reform Committee, finds that 30 percent of nursing homes in the United States—5,238 facilities—were cited for almost 9,000 instances of abuse over a recent two-year period, from January 1999 to January 2001.”
