Research by the National Center on Elder Abuse found that 44% of nursing home residents are abused, and 95% said they were a victim of, or witnessed neglect. Elder abuse, also known as nursing home abuse, is often reported late — or not at all — making it hard to know how many victims are really suffering.
This is why it is important that if you see an elderly person being abuse or if you suspect your own family member to being abused, contact us immediately.
