Nursing home abuse, in general, can cause serious and permanent damage to the elderly, some of society’s most vulnerable members. It in fact occurs much more often than the general public would like to believe but often goes unreported because elderly patients cannot always communicate problems effectively and don’t want to “rock the boat” for fear of retribution at the hands of staff or even family members.
