The National Center on Elder Abuse estimates that 1 out of every 20 nursing home patients has been the victim of negligence and/or injury, and notes that the incidence of nursing home abuse may be higher. In many cases, weakness, illness, dementia and other ailments or disabilities can prevent the elderly from protecting themselves or reporting abuse. Many nursing home residents are extremely vulnerable and require careful and frequent supervision. Poor supervision can result in serious injury, worsening illness and even death for nursing home residents.
