Falls and Fractures

Nursing home falls are one of the most common reasons that patients seek emergency medical attention. Since eldery bones are often more frail, they tend to break easier. So, it shouldn't be surprising that a broken bone upon falling in nursing home, is extremely common.

These falls are sometimes due to nursing home negligence. Whether it be:

  • slippery floors
  • improper lighting
  • failure to assist those that need assistance while walking
  • inappropriate bed and chair heights for patients.

Nursing home staff should take all proper safety precautions in order to prevent nursing home falls. Properly educating patients on how to use walking assistance equipment, and providing them with non-slip shoes are definitely ways to decrease the amount of falls that happen in these types of elderly residences.

Dealing with the reality that your loved one has dealt with negligence, and has thus experienced a nursing home fall, is extremely difficult. With the help of Chicago personal injury attorney Arkady Reifman, you can receive the justice that both you and your loved one deserve.
