N2  - As a result of its investigative analysis, A Perfect Cause is attempting to heighten awareness of this significant issue confronting the disabled and elderly living in America's long-term facilities. This includes confronting the many related myths such as the belief that elderly offenders and disabled and incapacitated offenders do not pose a threat, that child molesters do not pose a threat to disabled adults or elderly residents, that only sex offenders pose a threat, and that nursing homes are not capable of housing criminal offenders with nonoffenders. Additional awareness and investigation is urgently needed to facilitate policy changes at all levels. Such action will help ensure the safety of facility residents who are currently at ongoing risk.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
