Mr. Distasio speaks about understaffing in nursing homes and how that can lead to serious injuries to your loved ones.
Information on Nursing Home and ALF Abuse & Neglect
Most nursing homes and adult living facilities provide good care. But some are motivated more by profits than by providing good quality care. The profit motive can sometimes lead to nursing homes and adult living facilities not providing enough staff to meet the needs of the residents.
Understaffing can lead to pressure sores, pneumonia, malnutrition, dehydration and even death when a facility does not have enough staff to provide basic care such as turning and repositioning, and helping to feed and provide fluid to residents that cannot eat or drink on their own.
Understaffing can also lead to falls with broken hips and other bones because the nursing home does not have enough staff to properly supervise residents.
