A fall, even one that does not occur from a significant height, can have devastating effects on an elderly nursing home resident. Broken or fractured bones and head injuries can require long hospitalizations and lead to a decline in an individual’s overall health. Nursing homes are responsible for evaluating their residents for their risk of falls and preventing them from falling.

Falls are far too common in nursing homes, and they can have serious consequences. Surgery to repair broken bones can be dangerous for elderly nursing home residents. Sometimes surgery is not an option, and an individual can be forced to live with permanent pain or disability. Meanwhile, head injuries can lead to a decline in a resident’s mental status or memory among many other issues. Lacerations, if left untreated, may become infected and lead to other health issues.
