Although nursing homes were designed to be places of refuge and comfort for residents, they do not always live up to that standard. Unfortunately, there are many cases of nursing home abuse, and these issues need to be addressed. Nursing home abuse is often manifested by malnutrition, bruises, bed sores, pressure sores, and either lack of medication or too much medication. Unless a family member or friend reports the abuse, it often goes unnoted, as the elderly are either unable to speak up for themselves or unaware of the treatment they are receiving.
