Falls are leading cause of accidents in nursing homes
Each year, an average nursing home with 100 beds reports 100 to 200 falls, according to attorneys at Romanucci & Blandin, LLC.
About 1,800 older adults living in nursing homes die each year from fall-related injuries. Those who experience non-fatal falls can suffer injuries, have difficulty getting around and have a reduced quality of life.
