From the Paper:

"Today's elderly population faces considerable challenges in their efforts to obtain the care and the resources that are necessary to lead an acceptable quality of life. In many instances, it is evident that the elderly population is largely taken advantage of in favor of reducing costs, human error or laziness, or the sheer inability to identify their needs. Retirement communities of all shapes and sizes are located everywhere, and it is the intent of these homes to provide their elderly residents with care and support for longevity and survival. In many cases, it is evident that the best interests of these individuals are not placed first, and due to selfishness or a lack of interest, there is much neglect throughout these homes that is facilitated by families, caregivers, and much of society."
