Nursing homes and similar long-term care facilities in the United States. Currently house approximately 2.3 million elderly and/or dependent adults. Families who place their loved ones in nursing homes trust that they will be properly cared for.
Unfortunately, this trust is sometimes betrayed often with devastating consequences. Injuries in nursing homes are a growing phenomenon in the U.S. Large incidents of negligence may be reported, but more often than not when elderly individuals are victims of neglect it does not get the attention it deserves.
