You Must Take Action to Protect Your Loved Ones
A number of serious injuries can occur in nursing homes. These include:
- Bedsores (sometimes known as "pressure sores" or "decubitus ulcers")
- Falls
- Infections
- Dehydration
- Malnutrition
- Physical or sexual assaults by staff or other residents
- Overmedication
- And others
Many nursing home residents are not fully aware of what is happening to them. Dementia and Alzheimers' may affect their ability to understand the situation or effectively communicate their injuries. Others may be afraid to speak up if they are suffering at the hands of staff.
If your loved one has been the victim of abuse or negligence or has suffered unexplained injuries in a nursing home, you must take action. Some steps you can take include making unscheduled visits to the facility, talking frankly with your loved one about the treatment he or she is receiving and demanding action from the facility's management and staff members
