No family expects abuse or neglect when choosing a nursing home or assisted living facility. Sadly, the reality is that too many seniors and family members across the Burlington Metro Area—including Burlington, South Burlington, Essex, and Colchester—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.
