Dehydration is one of the most common and overlooked types of elder abuse in nursing homes. The families of the elderly residents rely on the staff to look after their loved ones. Nursing home employees play a vital role in the lives of those who can no longer care for themselves. Most victims are dependent on their abuser for basic needs. 1 in 10 elders, over the age of 60, suffer from abuse every year.
