Speaking Up On Behalf Of Long-Term Care Residents
In many cases, nursing home negligence and abuse stem from the unwillingness of executives in the long-term care industry to put the welfare of human beings over their own financial profit. This can result in nursing homes and other care facilities operating short-staffed or staffed by unqualified and poorly trained personnel.
