Identifying Nursing Home Neglect: Common Signs
About one in every 10 elders aged 60 or older are abused, neglected, or exploited while living in a nursing home or assisted living facility. In such cases, neglect is defined as an unreasonable failure of a caregiver to provide an elderly patient with safe, appropriate care.
Many elderly patients have specific, wide-ranging needs that must always be met. Even in cases where an elder needs acute and unique care, there is no excuse for their caretakers to ignore them or let harm come to them.
Common examples of neglect in a nursing home include:
- Fall risks
- Malnutrition
- Dehydration
- Unclean living conditions
- Incorrect medical care
- Prescription medication lapse
Understanding Bedsores and Pressure Ulcers in Nursing Homes
Bedsores and pressure ulcers are among the most common consequences of nursing home neglect. A bedsore will form when an elderly patient is allowed to lie in the same position for hours or days on end. As time goes by, a bruise will begin to form under the skin from the continual, unrelieved pressure.
Bedsores or pressure ulcers are categorized into four stages of severity:

The Dangers of Sepsis in Elderly Nursing Home Residents
Sepsis is a potentially fatal complication in which an incorrect mixture or number of antibodies and chemicals are released into the bloodstream to fight infection. Rather than killing the infection, bacteria, or virus, sepsis can cause organ death. Elders with weakened immune systems are particularly susceptible to sepsis.
Bacterial infections are the most common cause of sepsis in nursing homes. Elders who are given improper or unclean IVs, for example, may develop a bacterial infection, triggering sepsis as their bodies try to fight off the infection. Urinary tract infections caused by unclean catheters, or catheters left in for too long, can also cause sepsis.
