I'm looking for resources on the subject of Elderly parents who are neglected by their children. I would be grateful for any on websites, forums, books, articles in fact any kind of media. Can anyone help.

If you want some true, shocking information, arrange to
speak to the director of a nursing home in your area.
They deal with this on a daily basis.
My cousin is a director of an assisted living facility and the stories she tells me, would make you cry.
Here's the latest:
Last week, the doctor told her to call the family, as the mother wouldn't last thru Saturday. She made the call and was asked by the daughter, "When can I get the death certificate, so I can get into the safety deposit box.? I need to get there before my brother finds out she's dead or he will clean it out and I won't get anything."
The woman wasn't even dead yet!!!!!!!!!
My cousin said that neither one had ever visited their mom in the 4 years she was in the facility.
