Elderly residents depend on caregivers to monitor their hydration levels, but poor staffing, inadequate supervision, and neglectful care often result in severe dehydration cases.
Falls are one of the leading causes of injury and death in nursing homes. Many falls are entirely preventable, but due to staff negligence, improper safety measures, and lack of supervision, residents suffer avoidable injuries every day.
Bedsores, also known as pressure ulcers or pressure sores, are one of the most distressing signs of neglect in nursing homes. These painful wounds develop when residents are left immobile for extended periods, often due to staff negligence or inadequate care.
