As we age, we continually count on others to provide support and assistance to us. When elderly individuals are in need of constant care, they often start living in nursing homes. Many nursing homes provide compassionate, attentive, and caring support to their elderly residents. However, some instances occur were the caretakers fail in their duties, causing pain and suffering to the elderly.
