On October 28, 2007, Ken Conner, attorney, spoke at "Nursing Homes: A Failed Experiment". As an attorney he spoke regarding abuse in nursing homes and regarded nursing homes for putting profit over care.

Mr. Connor urges people to pay attention to signs from their loved ones in nursing homes. You should check for pressure ulcers, infections, or foul odors.

Bernie Vonderheide, president of Kentuckians for Nursing Home Reform, said his group was working to change state law so criminal background checks and random drug tests are required for all nursing home employees. Most important, he said, they are fighting to ensure there is a minimum staffing standard.
