Being Elderly Today is Difficult

By Thomas Waitt Pleasant, North Carolina Medical Negligence Attorney. Toll Free 888-435-7156. Ken Connor, formerly of a national law firm specializing in personal injury with a particular emphasis on nursing home and medical cases, writes an interesting article about the difficulties of aging in our society, considering the problems we have in our nursing home industry. The article is entitled Old Age Ain't For Sissies, and is availabgle at the Center for a Just Society website.  Our society depends upon these nursing and assisted living facitilies to care for our elderly loved ones; but we are seeing a surprising lack of care. Arguably, due to lack of staffing, we see too many unfortunate circumstances of our elderly being hurt in nursing homes, abused by nursing home staff, and even killed by the wrongful conduct of nurisng homes and their stafffs.
