How common is abuse and neglect of the elderly in nursing homes?

Also, do you know of any major, respectable, activist groups? For instance, animals have the Humane Society. What are some good non-profit groups that speak up for and support the crippled elderly?

I appreciate any information, opinion, experience or other comments.
Thanks for the information.
