Two out of every five Americans will need long-term care at some point in their lives. Even though an individual is confined to a nursing home or elder care facility, they still deserve to have their dignity preserved and to be free of any concerns of abuse. Unfortunately each year thousands of senior citizens are abused, neglected and exploited. Many of those victimized cannot help or care for themselves.

Common nursing home injuries include:

• Decubitus ulcers (bedsores or pressure sores)
• Malnutrition or dehydration
• Wandering or leaving the facility
• Abuse and Assault
• Strangulation
• Restraint injuries
• Falls
• Fractures
• Death
