If you are reading this, you, like I once did, may have a had a loved one who is or has been in a nursing home.

If you are reading this, it is quite possible that you are concerned about the care that your loved one is receiving or has received in a nursing home—concerned about the over-medicated state, perhaps, or the sudden weight loss.  Or the depression, the falls, the wandering, the fractures, the contractures, the unexplained bruises, the skin tears, the bedsores, the lack of personal hygiene, the staffing shortages, or some combination of these things.

And it is possible that you are reading this with feelings of guilt, fear, frustration, uncertainty, or anger, and with a powerful need to know what to do next. If that is why you are here, please read on.  Maybe I can help you.
