But as an attorney who has worked with victims of nursing home abuse, let me tell you that, if you are hearing stories, you owe it to your loved one to investigate the situation.
Just as parents are encouraged to “listen to their children” and take accusations about issues seriously, you need to listen to your aged parents, aunts, uncles or grandparents. Even if they are prone to telling stories or want nothing more than to be “elsewhere,” any complaints about nursing home treatment need to be taken very seriously.
