This site has been created to inform families of the growing problem of nursing home abuse that will affect the majority of people at one point in their lives. Every 7.6 seconds a baby boomer turns fifty, and by the middle of the century seniors are going to outnumber young people for the first time in history. There are an estimated 5 million nursing homes expected to be in operation thirty years from now, and the challenges our nation faces to make drastic changes in the way our long term elder care operates will only grow larger if immediate action is not implemented. If you or a family member has endured the painful experience of nursing home abuse contact us. Rezulin : More Sites :
