Yes, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics recently shared the results of a study which examined the full scope of workplace injuries. Based on employee’s reports of work injuries, a job within a nursing home is actually the fifth most dangerous job in America.
Loved ones who are trying to find the safest nursing home for their parent are typically wired to look for injuries or accidents that occur among residents. That’s why these findings come as a surprise to many, but the implications are in actuality, also pertinent to the nursing home resident. Since nursing home staff is likely to become injured it is comprehensible then, that the facility is not providing a safe environment for their employees. Nursing home care providers require various necessary supportive measures. If a nursing home staffer is getting injured on the job, it is likely that the facility is understaffed and overworked, which often leads to abuse and neglect of residents.
