How common is elder abuse and neglect in Michigan nursing homes?

Unfortunately, elder abuse and neglect are significant concerns in nursing homes across the United States, including Michigan. While it's challenging to determine the exact prevalence due to underreporting and varying definitions of abuse, studies suggest that a significant number of nursing home residents experience some form of mistreatment.

According to data from the National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA), approximately 1 in 10 Americans aged 60 and older have experienced some form of elder abuse, and the vast majority of cases go unreported. In Michigan, reports of elder abuse and neglect continue to rise, highlighting the need for increased awareness, prevention efforts, and accountability within nursing home facilities.
