Assisted Living Facilities Abuse

While elder abuse in nursing homes often dominates headlines, assisted living facilities also present a risk. Recent studies suggest a lower incidence compared to nursing homes, but vigilance remains crucial to safeguard the well-being and dignity of our senior citizens. With approximately 40,000 assisted living facilities caring for 800,000 elderly individuals in the United States, there’s significant room for further abuse reduction and prevention.
While both assisted living and nursing homes provide support for seniors, they cater to different needs. Assisted living focuses on residents who require less intensive medical care. They might need help with daily activities like bathing or medication reminders, but can generally manage on their own for most of the day.
In contrast, nursing homes provide comprehensive medical care for residents who require 24/7 supervision and assistance from registered nurses and other healthcare professionals. This may include individuals with chronic medical conditions or those needing ongoing rehabilitation.
