Elder abuse is a real problem even making it into headlines. The nursing home industry has become a multi-billion dollar business composed of major corporations. In some facilities profitability has become more important than administering proper care. Reports state that 30% of nursing home facilities are cited for instances of abuse. For this reason, both federal and state governments have introduced legislation to protect residents of nursing homes. If you have a loved one that has been injured you may need the help of a nursing home abuse attorney. Contact the attorneys at the Kelley Law Firm at (800) 498-5355 .
