According to the National Center on Elder Abuse, the maltreatment of older people in nursing homes is on the rise. Currents estimates claim that at least one in twenty nursing home patients has been the victim of negligence or abuse. According to another study, over half of nurse aides admitted to having witnessed, or participated in, acts of neglect or abuse. Additionally, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention shows that neglect in the nursing home played a role in the deaths of 14,000 people between 1999 and 2002.
