Nursing Home Injuries
Nursing home injuries are more common than we would like to think. The average nursing home reports 100 – 200 falls per year and about 1,800 adults in nursing homes die each year from fall-related injuries. This number of falls may actually be much larger as many falls go unreported and patients often fall more than once.
Nursing home injuries can also occur by other means, including giving or failing to give someone their prescribed medication, failure to follow doctor’s orders, and bed sores.
About 10 – 20% of nursing home falls cause serious injuries to the person. Falls can be especially dangerous to individuals living in nursing homes as they may be older than other individuals living outside of a nursing home, have frail or degenerating bone structures, may have chronic conditions and/or difficulty walking. Often times, nursing home residents may have problems with memory, cognitive reasoning, daily living, mobility or self-care so adding an injury on top of their current difficulties can be extremely challenging. Injuries to nursing home residents can take months of rehabilitation. In addition, complications can arise from injuries and the individual’s quality of life will suffer while in treatment.
Nursing home injuries can also result in disability, functional decline, depression, feelings of helplessness and social isolation.
Common Causes of Nursing Home Injuries:
- Environmental hazards such as wet floors, poor lighting, incorrect bed height and improperly fitted or maintained wheelchairs
- Staff neglect or improper training of staff
- Lack of safety equipment such as grab bars, raised toilet seats, lowered bed heights, bed alarms and hallway handrails
- Medications that affect the central nervous system such as sedatives and anti-anxiety
- Difficulty moving from one place to another
- Improper or incorrect use of walking aids
