Elder abuse in California, and throughout the nation, is a huge problem. It is only becoming bigger every day. It is increasing everyday because there are more elders. The companies that run elder facilities are for profit companies. The way they can make more money is by shorting staff. If this occurs, the amount of staff members that are in a nursing home are usually much less than what it should be and much less than it takes to care for everyone in the facility.
No one is sure exactly how many older Americans are abused and neglected every year. According to the National Center on Elder Abuse, estimates show that between 1 and 2 million Americans age 65 and older have been mistreated by someone who they depend on for care. With the number of elder abuse and neglect cases that happen every year it is important to know if your loved one is receiving proper care.
