Nursing homes are required to create a safe environment for the people in their care. In many cases, a fall is the result of a nursing home's failure to provide a safe environment. Nursing homes are aware, or should be aware of how susceptible elderly people are to falls. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), as many as 1,800 people in nursing homes die every year due to falls. Countless others suffer severe injuries, including head injuries and broken bones. Common causes of falls include:
- Wet floors
- Poor lighting
- Improper heights to beds, toilets, and other
- Lack of hand railings in hallways
In some cases, medication can impact a person's balance, making a fall more likely. There are any number of potential causes to falls, and many of these causes are preventable.
