How can I protect someone I know in a nursing home?

We cannot stress enough that people who visit daily or weekly are the front-line defense for the elderly. Make unexpected visits to the home. Walk around the home and observe the conditions existing. Make sure you know the names of the people who care for the person you are interested in. When you see something wrong, report it! Do not assume if you make a fuss they will “get mad and not care for the person”. The truth of the matter is they become more watchful and careful and provide better care.
