Even if it is not your loved one who is being hurt in a Kentucky nursing home, there are still things that you can do to help protect the person who is being hurt, your parent, and everyone else who lives there. Specifically, you can:
- Move your loved one. If one person is being abused or neglected, then others may also be hurt.
