Unsanitary Conditions

Unsanitary conditions in nursing homes put residents at an increased risk for bed sores, infections, and other health problems. When nursing home staff members fail to provide clean bedding and clothing or allow a resident to remain unwashed after exposure to bodily fluids, potentialy life threatening bed sores can form. Unsanitary conditions in nursing homes can quickly become hazardous, and failure to correct unsanitary conditions is a form of nursing home neglect. When staff members fail to keep the facility clean and ensure proper hygiene for residents, infections can spread throughout the entire nursing home population or create terrible living conditions. Problems that may result from unsanitary living conditions in a nursing home include mold, fleas, lice, rodents, roaches, and other insect infestations. If you notice a strong odor of urine, feces, or body odor when you visit a nursing home, this may be a sign that the residents are being forced to live in unsanitary conditions. A nursing home neglect lawyer should be consulted as soon as possible.
