Fractures And Other Serious Injuries In Nursing Homes

Nursing home negligence is an ever increasing problem as the number of facilities rise in addition to the number of elderly in our society. We do not want your loved one to become just another statistic.

Falls and fractures are not unique accidents for elderly individuals. As we become older, it becomes more likely that we will be injured in an accident; the difference for nursing homes is when an individual is a known fall risk. There are rules set out in regard to how the nursing home must transport these individuals. Often, a couple of staff members are required for moving the individual to the restroom, the dining room or any movement around the place in general.

When a nursing home is understaffed or individuals are undertrained, your loved one might not receive the care and attention that he or she deserves and needs. A fall or fracture can be extremely serious for an elderly individual and can restrict their mobility to an even greater degree.
