Infections

If a nursing home resident develops an infection, it must be properly evaluated and treated, often with medication. The nursing home must also notify the resident’s doctor and family. Common infections include respiratory infections, skin infections, and urinary tract infections. Severe infections left untreated can lead to sepsis, which is a serious infection of the blood that can be fatal for elderly adults.
