The signs of abuse and neglect are many, but the most life threatening and dangerous include:
- Bedsores, also known as pressure ulcers
- Resident falls
- Fractures
- Prescription drug errors
- Dehydration and malnutrition
- Assaults and attacks
- Infections including urinary tract infections and sepsis
- Sexual abuse
- Wrongful death
And most recently, many nursing homes and assisted living facilities blatantly failed to ensure proper infection control during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. As a result, they left their vulnerable residents defenseless against the spread of the virus which resulted in thousands of deaths and hospitalizations in nursing homes throughout the country.
