Q: How common is elder abuse in nursing homes?

A: A congressional study highlighted in the CBS Newscast on July 20, 2001 found that one out of three nursing homes had been cited for abuse, including severe injuries and death.  We all expect our family members to be competently cared for in facilities like nursing homes or assisted living centers.  Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case.  If you believe that your loved one is the victim of abuse or neglect, call Kaufman Law, P.C. for a free no-obligation consultation to discuss your rights.
