Administration Errors – When nursing home staff make mistakes such as not providing the proper medications or proper doses on time, or fail to provide residents with the proper amount of food and water or fail to repair damaged equipment, these errors can be serious and cause injury or death to the nursing home residents.

Falls and Fractures – Nursing homes are responsible for making sure that their residents and facilities are safe.  They also have a duty to ensure proper supervision of its residents.  When repairs are not made in a timely manner or spills are left without being cleaned up, there is potential for harm to the nursing home residents, including increased risk of falling and physical injuries.

Unreasonable Use of Restraints – Though there are situations in which is reasonable and necessary to use restraints on residents, this power can be abused.  Nursing home residents may be left in restraints for too long, the restraints may be too tight, or they may be restrained without a reasonable basis.  The improper use of restraints can cause both physical and emotional injuries.
