Mary Adelaide Mendleson, author of "Tender Loving Greed: How the Incredibly Lucrative Nursing Home "Industry" Is Exploiting American's Old People and Defrauding Us All," discusses the state of nursing homes and the elderly.

Elma Greisel is the executive director for the National Citizens' Coalition for Nursing Home Reform. Greisel talks about the continuing struggles of older people's civil rights when placed in a nursing home. She also talks about the abuse and neglect older people suffer when in a nursing home. We as a society, expect the best quality of care for those in the nursing homes, says Greisel, and yet the nursing home employees are not paid very well.
