Resident abuse has already spelled disaster for hundreds of nursing homes and assisted living communities. Who will be next? I recently read an article in the Minnesota Star Tribune that was a real eye-opener. It was part of a 3-part series on elder abuse in assisted living communities. The article was called “When Roommates Are the Abusers.” What a topic! Resident-on-resident violence is an area of abuse that seems to be getting more attention these days. I’ve read a couple articles, just over the last few weeks. And it’s more prevalent than many like to believe. According to a Cornell University study, in New York alone, one in five nursing home residents are involved in a minimum of one aggressive encounter from a fellow resident.
