This blog tells the stories of the victims of nursing home abuse and neglect.  The victims' names have been changed and some of the specifics have been altered to protect their identity, but these are real people who experienced adverse events that occurred in facilities in our country. I tell the story they were unable to voice. First, you will hear their voice how I imagine them. Secondly, you will learn some facts of the case and the fate of each individual. The last section defines the problem and offers a solution to prevent this from happening to your loved one. I welcome comments and questions and I pray that when provided with this information, family members and loved ones will be able to advocate in a productive way to prevent these types of events from occurring. 

As Nelson Mandela said “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
