Nearly 1 in 10 elderly people will suffer abuse or neglect at the hands of another each year. Most victims of elder abuse are unable to protect their rights and cannot "fight back" against their abusers. Unfortunately, many families of elderly victims see things they know aren't right (they feel it in their gut), but most of the time they also do nothing.
This is due to fear, misinformation, intimidation, and a lack or resources. Doing this for 25 years we have learned that "behavior rewarded is behavior repeated", so we seek to hold wrongdoers accountable. While we are highly selective in the cases we take, we pride ourselves in taking the time to listen.

Assault
Report
Assault is the intentional act of making someone fear that you will cause them harm. You do not have to actually harm them to commit assault. Threatening them verbally or pretending to hit them are both examples of assault that can occur in a nursing home. Unfortunately, assault is common in long term care.
Bedsores
Report
Bedsores, also known as "Decubitus Ulcers" or "Pressure Ulcers", are open sores resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin. They are almost always a sign of neglect or abuse because they are literally caused by leaving someone in the bed for hours and hours at a time until the skin breaks down over a "bony prominence".
Elder Abuse
Report
What is Elder Abuse? Elder Abuse takes many forms. It can be physical or psychological and it can happen instantly (like an assault) or very slowly, like the deprivation of food or water. Just because a health care provider tells you something is "normal" or "part of the dying process" does not mean what you are seeing is not abuse.
