The families of elder abuse victims are using social networking sites, Facebook, Twitter and Myspace, to gain support for reform in long-term care facilities. The group, which was founded by family member's personally affected by alleged abuse in a Minnesota nursing home, can be found by conducting a search for "Families Against Nursing Home Abuse" on any of these sites.
The group members describe themselves as being "committed to providing information and resources for the continuum of long-term care -- from successful aging, to aging in the home, to assisted living, to hospice care, as well as nursing home care."
Those interested in becoming members of the group can join online, or call Jan Reshetar at 402-4749 or Myrna Sorensen at 383-6963.
