What You Should Know About Nursing Home Neglect or Abuse

Elder abuse and neglect in nursing homes and assisted living facilities can cause serious physical and emotional harm. Understanding residents’ rights, recognizing warning signs, and knowing how to take action are critical to protecting your loved one.
