APE was created to improve conditions for nursing home residents,
to give residents a voice that will be heard, to educate residents
and their families on nursing home issues concerning quality of
care, and to provide direction to legal resources. Their site features
action alerts, breaking news, and information on how to fill out and pursue a complaint
against an abusive company.
It is vital for your family member that you spend a considerable amount of time researching the nursing home before you send them to the home. It is much
easier to pick a good home in the beginning than it is to choose a poor home and have to go through the many obstacles to improve the care or try to transfer
your family member to another facility. It is important not to judge the nursing home on the basis of a guided tour or the nice furniture and wallpaper in the
lobby. You must remember that, especially in a for-profit nursing home, they put a lot of effort in marketing to convince you to bring your family member
to their home. The pictures of happy grandmas in their brochures, nice dining rooms and landscaped entrances do not give you an idea of the quality of the
basic care that your family member will receive. This site
gives you some basic tips to keep in mind when looking for a nursing home.
As the population of the United States gets older and older, more and more people end up in nursing homes. In fact, the population of the
elderly in nursing homes is soaring. Although the abuse and mistreatment of elderly people in nursing homes is appalling, it does occur
and litigation cases for this type of civil and criminal wrong are on the rise. This book helps teach you how to
investigate nursing home abuse.
If you are interested in helping senior citizens and the aged deal with elder abuse,
nursing home problems, nursing home abuse, and nursing home neglect, this
website can help you. TANHR is interested in
meaningful nursing home reform and in preserving and promoting residents'
rights.
Seniors are prime targets for abuse or other injustices in many forms: mental, physical, financial, etc.
