Lack of adequate fall precautions can cause a fall that results in a broken hip or a head injury. Substandard care can cause chronic infections, often in the form of urinary tract infections. Inattention by staff often leads to dangerous dehydration and malnutrition or horrific bed sores which cause elderly residents needless pain and suffering. Care provided by untrained or unqualified staff can result in life-threatening medication errors or delayed treatment of an emergency condition.

Elderly residents are vulnerable to unnecessary use of restraints, incidents of physical or sexual abuse, and theft of personal property. As the resident population in elder care facilities grows, the need for caring, competent nurses and aides grows. In facilities where low wages and high turnover rates are issues, residents are more apt to become victims of abuse and neglect. Since many elderly residents are unable to help themselves, it is imperative that family members and friends are always mindful of possible abuse and neglect situations. If you suspect a loved one has been the victim of abuse or neglect, call us today.
