How can someone keep from being abused in a group /nursing home? I'm very scared of this, and this is very interesting because it applies to everyone, since everyone will get old. Thanks in advance

Facts and circumstances matter. You provided none.

Not everyone is abused in a nursing home situation. My father was very well treated in his nursing home, where he lived for the last several years of his life.

This is not really a legal question and certainly has nothing to do with "Lawyers, Legal Practice, Ethics and the Bar".

The two best things to do are: (1) carefully check out the facility before moving into it and (2) ensure you have relatives/friends who can check up on you on a regular basis.
