Nothing is more disturbing than a loved one getting hurt and you don’t know why. Maybe you have a parent or another loved one who has been hurt at a nursing home and the staff can’t explain why.
The number of unexplained fractures in nursing homes is alarming. Facilities say that they do not know why the patient was harmed and how anything happened.
Whether they slip and fall or retain the injury in some other way, the nursing home seems to not be able to provide you with the information you need about your loved one’s care. Nursing homes will typically say it’s due to an already existing condition such as brittle bones, osteoporosis, or just old age. They cannot tell you any information except they were not present when it occurred. But is that the truth about your loved one? Could they have really fallen, when last someone checked they were in bed? Watch this video now to learn more.
