Bedsores and Other Injuries
Bedsores are one of the most common injuries suffered in nursing homes. To avoid bedsores, bedridden patients and residents in wheelchairs should have their positions rotated every two hours. They must also be properly hydrated and maintain adequate levels of nutrition. When nursing home or hospital staff fail to meet these standards, they can be held responsible for their negligence.
In addition to bedsores, nursing home residents may be subject to:
- Physical, mental and emotional abuse
- Sexual assault
- Falls
- Broken hips
- Dehydration
- Malnutrition
- Medication errors
- Nurse and physician negligence
- Inadequate staffing and understaffing
- Transportation injuries
- Restraint injuries
