The decision to place a loved one in a nursing home is never easy. For some families, the decision to move a loved one into a long-term care facility may be one of the most heartbreaking and toughest decisions they make in their lifetime. No one likes to think about their loved one being alone and unhappy in an attended care facility. The thought of a loved one being abused in a nursing home can be too much to bear.
Sadly, thousands of patients are abused in nursing homes and attended care facilities in the United States each year. Even though you research facilities to find the best place for your parent, spouse, or another family member to live, you cannot be with them 24 hours a day every day of the week. You felt you made the best decision for your family member, but now you are dealing with an unexplained injury or illness.

Why Does Nursing Home Abuse Happen in Pennsylvania and New Jersey?
One of the main reasons abuse and neglect occur in assisted living facilities and nursing homes is because residents are unable to care for themselves or voice their concerns. In many cases, family members are placed in nursing homes because they need help with daily living, including bathing, eating, grooming, dressing, getting out of bed and moving about. They are unable to defend themselves from verbal, sexual, and physical abuse. Patients may be unable to say anything to relatives about abuse because of cognitive or physical limitations. They may also be afraid to say anything because the abuser has threatened to harm them. Therefore, the cycle of abuse continues until the patient suffers a severe injury or condition that requires medical intervention, or a family member begins questioning signs of abuse.
