Abuse Reported at 3 N.M. Nursing Homes; Gov. Richardson Called Evidence 'Deeply Disturbing' |

| Comments: |
Although no physical abuse was found in undercover investigations, "'You're not bathing them, you're not dressing them, you're not feeding them, you're not toileting them, and you're not monitoring them. That causes actual harm and even death,' said Katrina Hotrum, the state care ombudsman." |
