- Does the patient have bedsores? Bedsores are painful — and nearly always preventable. If your loved one has bedsores, you should seek to protect their interests and stop such neglect.
- Did the patient wander off? Improperly monitored nursing home patients may become confused and wander off. There is no reason an elderly resident should be permitted to wander away from their home.
- Did the patient fall? Improper bed transfers can result in a fall and broken bones. These type of injures are common and completely preventable.
- Was the patient abused? Nursing home residents are easy victims for those who physically and sexually abuse others. Yes, this happens at many retirement homes. It can be prevented if the staff and administration are vigilent.
