Contractures: Nursing Home Neglect?
Contractures occur in nursing home residents if they are not properly cared for with appropriate exercise or therapy. Contractures are the shortening and hardening of muscles which can cause immobility and pain. They typically occur in bed-bound residents because nursing homes don’t make contracture prevention and priority and usually don’t even have the staffing levels necessary to provide the care required to prevent them.
