Take A Stand Against Nursing Home Abuse

The natural aging process can exact a toll that makes it impossible for families to provide elderly loved ones with the care needed to keep them in their own homes. Unfortunately, no matter how much we want to believe otherwise, many nursing “care” facilities fail to provide elders with a safe and loving environment. According to one recent study, 94% of all U.S. nursing homes have previously been cited for serious violations.

“How can this be happening? Aren’t these facilities regulated?” Yes, they are – heavily regulated, in fact. There are two parts to the problem: On one hand, regulators don’t have the resources to adequately enforce the regulations. On the other, providers have become very good at hiding and covering up their failings.

Hold Corporations Accountable For Abuse

The fact is, many of the institutions that provide long-term care for the elderly are owned by corporations that seem to care only about maximizing profits. As a result, many providers have cut back on staff again and again or pursued a policy of hiring less-qualified workers for lower salaries in an attempt to decrease labor costs. The not-so-surprising tolls exacted by this decidedly unnatural process? Premature deaths and severe instances of abuse, neglect and injury.
