The Long Term Care Community Coalition (LTCCC), a non-profit consumer advocacy organization headquartered in New York, has published a report examining the federal requirements and key practices for addressing nursing home resident abuse, neglect, and crime. The report, Addressing Abuse, Neglect, and Suspicion of a Crime Against Nursing Home Residents, is free and available on LTCCC’s new Abuse, Neglect, and Crime Reporting Center. In addition to the report, the Reporting Center contains facts sheets and downloadable forms that residents, families, ombudsmen, law enforcement, and others can use to address abuse, neglect, and crime in nursing homes across the country.
