When we make the difficult decision to place a loved one in a nursing home or assisted living facility, we do so with the expectation that they will be kept safe and treated with the utmost care and respect. Unfortunately, far too often this is not the case.
In a 2008 report, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that 1 in 10 elderly individuals recounted experiencing neglectful or abusive (emotional, physical, or sexual) behavior within the last year; though this number is likely higher.
Sometimes our loved ones suffer from neglect or abuse at the very hands of those entrusted to protect them. Some of these unfortunate circumstances include:

This behavior cannot be tolerated. In these situations, a qualified and compassionate Arkansas nursing home abuse attorney can advocate on behalf of your family, hold the wrongdoers accountable, and help you receive the justice you deserve.

But regardless of the precise numbers, we know that the prevalence of this abusive behavior is widespread.
