A Michigan agency is fighting to keep the rights of disabled and elderly while in nursing homes, but advocating to stop abuse.

The Michigan Protection and Advocacy Protection Agency works to protect the legal rights of the disabled. The agency recently reported on two cases where maggots were found in nursing home patients. One in the person’s trachea and the other in an open wound.

The agency claims that these two cases show a statewide failure to provide quality care to nursing home residents. The agency released a report in order to shed light on these instances in order to correct the neglectful care.
