(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 17, 2008 ) New York - IQ Nursing Homes announces the launch of their new website, a comprehensive online research tool for nursing home residents and concerned family members. A national nursing home directory, up-to-date nursing home news, nursing home deficiency reports, and legal resources for victims of nursing home abuse and elder neglect cases are now just a click away on one easy to navigate site.
With increased life expectancies in todayÂ’s society leading to higher numbers of nursing home residents, IQ Nursing Homes recognized the need to create a free, complete online nursing home resource. Careful research is imperative to ensure that the nursing home to which you entrust your loved oneÂ’s care is reputable and safe. When you visit IQ Nursing HomeÂ’s national directory to locate elder care facilities in your area, you can also check nursing home deficiency reports to make sure the facility you choose provides the best care possible to its residents.
In addition to directories and information, IQ Nursing Homes provides a way for nursing home employees, residents, and their families to combat elder abuse and neglect. These are serious, prevalent problems that can result in physical and emotional suffering. Painful bed sores, broken hips, and even death are among the afflictions the nursing home residents face at the hands of negligent or abusive caregivers. Resources to help individuals recognize and report these problems are available on the IQ Nursing Homes website, including signs and symptoms of abuse and neglect and an anonymous abuse report form.
If abuse is suspected, a free nursing home abuse case evaluation is also available on the site. IQ Nursing Homes has partnered with expert nursing home lawyers and law firms throughout the country with the goal of putting a stop to the victimization of the elderly. By holding negligent and abusive staff members accountable for their actions and making it financially devastating for nursing homes to allow abuse and neglect to occur, this epidemic can be put to an end.
