Types of Nursing Home Abuse
Dehydration & Malnutrition
Dehydration and malnutrition is a common form of nursing home abuse. Residents are particularly vulnerable to changes in fluid and food intake.
Slips, Trips & Falls
Most nursing home residents are at increased risk of falling due to age, poor vision or reduced strength.
Infections
Nursing home residents are particularly vulnerable to skin, respiratory and urinary tract infections.
Medication Errors
Many nursing home residents rely upon prescription medications for optimal health. Many medications need to be given in a particular dose and at a particular time of day.
Bed Sores
Bed sores are also called decubitous ulcers. They can occur in debilitated or bed-confined patients. Such patients often have difficulty turning themselves in bed to relieve pressure.
