Nursing home patients are typically elderly or disabled individuals who cannot independently perform the basic, daily tasks that are essential to their well-being. These include things such as preparing food and eating it, taking medications, bathing, and maintaining a healthy and safe living environment, as just a few examples. Any sort of abuse is devastating to its victims and those who love them but it can be especially horrific when a family realizes that the place they have put their loved one to have their basic needs to be taken care may not only not be getting this but may also be being abused. To know that someone who cannot fight back, comprehend and/or speak up about their abuse is being harmed, is horrible beyond words.
