No family expects abuse or neglect when choosing a nursing home or assisted living facility. Sadly, too many seniors and family members across Northern and Central Minnesota—including the regional hubs of Duluth, Grand Rapids, and International Falls—have learned the cold, harsh reality of the long-term care industry. Seniors and the disabled are among our most vulnerable citizens. When their voices go unheard, the consequences can be devastating.
