Nursing home abuse rampant: NSW becomes the worst offender
REPORTS of physical and sexual abuse of nursing home residents jumped by 22 per cent between 2009 and 2011, with 326 more cases reported in 2010/11 than the year before, according to Department of Health and Ageing figures released under Freedom of Information.
