Victoria Nursing Home Negligence

The National Council on Aging recently reported that roughly ten percent of citizens above the age of 60 have experienced some form of elderly abuse or neglect. These instances commonly occur within the confines of a nursing facility that has been entrusted with their care and well-being.
