They deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. When you place an elderly family member in an assisted living facility, you expect that their best interests are protected. Unfortunately, physical, sexual, emotional, mental, and financial abuse inside nursing homes is all too common.

Your loved one may have been threatened to keep quiet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is but a small sampling of the various types of abuse your relative might incur.
