Whether it is due to old age or for rehabilitation, it is never an easy decision to place a loved one in a nursing home. Such transition can be a huge change for an aging family member. Moreover, it can be challenging for loved ones because they are placing much trust in the nursing home facility and its staff members to care for and meet the needs of their family member. While nursing homes are often adequate facilities that meet all the needs of their residents, some fail to do so – often because of negligence.
When family members begin to notice signs and symptoms of nursing home abuse or neglect, this can be a challenging time. It can be difficult to accept that this might be occurring, making it even harder for them to take the necessary steps to investigate the matter further.
