Neglect can appear in many different ways.

A case review may involve facility records, staffing information, medical documentation, inspection history and evidence about whether the resident received appropriate supervision and care.

Unexplained Injuries

Bruises, fractures or repeated injuries can raise questions about supervision and care.

02

Bedsores

Pressure ulcers may be associated with immobility, repositioning failures or inadequate care.

03

Dehydration & Nutrition

Weight loss, dehydration and poor nutrition can signal unmet care needs.

04

Falls

A resident's fall may raise questions about supervision, fall precautions and staffing.

05

Medication Problems

Wrong medications, incorrect doses or missed medications can cause serious harm.

Infections & Hygiene

Untreated wounds, unsanitary conditions and infection-control issues may require investigation.
