Many senior citizens are abused, neglected and exploited in nursing homes and other elder care facilities every year.  Such abuse and neglect  is unconscionable. Many of our seniors who are victimized are frail and vulnerable and cannot help themselves, depending on others to meet their most basic needs. Legislatures in all 50 states have passed some form of an elder abuse prevention law. Knowing the warning signs of abuse is a first step toward protecting elderly friends or relatives. Sometimes all you might see is that first bruise. Sometimes the neglect is the dehydration, malnutrition from missed meals, or infections from untreated bedsores. If you believe someone is being neglected in a care facility, then there is a chance their fellow residents are also under threat from this neglect.
