Current Affairs Study suggests elderly lack privacy, suffer risk of abuse, in nursing homes
A new study on the elderly in Czech retirement or nursing homes has suggested that some six percent of residents of such homes suffer maltreatment, either at the hands of staff or fellow inhabitants. Conducted by Masaryk University in Brno, Moravia, the study looked at the lives of elderly inhabitants in 16 different facilities, asking about everything from interpersonal situations to the quality of nutrition to day-to-day care.
