Nursing home abuse - is it as bad as they say?

I have never been in one, but when my grandmother was terminally ill, we had one weekend when we were all very busy and none of us could take care of her, so we let her go to one for one night.... BIG mistake, my granma was calling us begging us to come get her cz they were mean to her and neglecting her. My grandma was bed ridden, so its not like she could just get up and get what she needed, which is why Hospice was coming to our house helping her and all of that. My mom promised her she would never put her in one (besides that day cz my grandma didnt mind for one day) And i have promised my parents i would never put them in one as well. As long as i am healthy and have the room in my house i will take care of my parents, they have done so much for me, and taken care of me i feel as if i owe it to them if the time ever comes when they need to be taken care of.

Sadly yes and sometimes worse...thank goodness there is now an agency for elder abuse.!

Oh, I would hope not, those poor people deserve to be treated right not abused.
