Elderly individuals are particularly vulnerable as they require a high level of care and attention to keep them safe. Sadly, when we entrust the care of a loved one to a nursing home, the residence may cause or fail to prevent an injury through abuse or neglect.
Nursing home abuse and neglect can include:
- Allowing or causing a slip or trip and fall
- Failure to develop a fall prevention plan
- Failure to prevent malnutrition
- Failure to prevent dehydration
- Failure to prevent bedsores
- Failure to prevent wandering
- Improper supervision and failure to monitor residents
- Improper use of restraints
- Medication and prescription errors
- Failure to refer residents for medical treatment
- Physical assault
- Sexual assault
