It is difficult and painful to see a loved one enter a nursing home, or assisted living program or facility. When we entrust our mothers, fathers, or other family members to the care of nursing homes, or assisted living programs, we hope and expect that they will be comfortable and well treated. If admitted for short-term rehabilitation, we hope and expect that they will get better.
The last thing we deserve is for the doctors, nurses, or nurse assistants in nursing homes, or assisted living programs or facilities, to abuse, neglect, injure, or mistreat residents or patients, especially our loved ones. Abuse and neglect in nursing homes, and assisted living programs or facilities, often cause significant injuries, including death. Many nursing homes and assisted living programs or facilities are often under-staffed, or staffed by poorly trained or indifferent employees, who ignore and abandon residents and patients.
