There are three simple steps that the children of nursing home residents can take to ensure that their parents are not subjected to abuse and neglect: look, listen, and smell. With regard to "look", you should enter the nursing home at times that the staff is not expecting you, looking for things such as unchanged bandages or unchanged commodes, and making sure that your parent is being fed.
