Nursing Home Abuse
Placing a loved one in a nursing home is one of the most difficult decisions we may have to face. Although we make this decision with the trust and expectation that the facility will care for our loved ones with responsibility and vigilance, all too often they are neglected and even abused by the people to whom we have entrusted their lives.
Nursing home complaints continue to rise. Lack of care, poor nutrition, understaffing, unsanitary conditions and substandard care for injuries are but a few of these complaints.
Some of the serious injuries that are encountered in nursing homes include:
• Abuse • Sexual assault
• Aspiration • Broken bones
• Falls and fractures • Malnutrition
• Pneumonia • Dehydration
• Septic shock • Gangrene
• Abandonment • Medication errors
• Unexplained injuries • Bed sores and pressure sores
