All over America and in the state of Nevada, families from every walk of life are choosing to move their loved ones into elder care nursing homes for advanced care that is too difficult or too costly to be able to give on their own. Nursing homes can be very convenient facilities, offering around the clock care with scheduled activities, entertainment, and emergency care all with the comforts of home.

Some nursing homes however, do not provide these luxuries and may be a danger to the residents within. Sometimes residents are tied down to their beds and not permitted to leave to use the bathroom and are refused food and water for long periods of time. Other times, family members may notice bruises, lesions, swelling and poor circulation that is unexplained by the nursing home staff. In very rare cases, the nursing home residents are fatally injured by neglectful and abusive practices.
