About Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect
Approximately one in three nursing homes in California abuse or neglect the elderly patients in their care. Most families put their elderly in a nursing home so they can be given proper care in an environment that is calm and has other elderly people they can befriend. The last thing anyone wants for their elderly loved one is for them to be mistreated and feel miserable and alone.
