Protecting Those Who Cannot Protect Themselves

In an effort to cut costs, nursing homes often fail to provide training for their employees or to hire experienced staff. Sadly, such cost cuts often come at the expense of nursing home residents. Because elderly individuals are not always able to communicate with others that elder abuse or neglect is occurring, nursing homes often are not held responsible for injuries or illnesses arising due to inadequate care.

Nursing home negligence can lead to:

• Sepsis and other staff infections
• Bedsores and decubitus ulcers
• Injuries and broken bones due to falls
• Dehydration and malnutrition
• Untreated medical conditions
• Prescription medication mistakes
• Serious injury and death
