Nursing Homes

In the past we have visited hundreds of different nursing homes and nursing facilities.  During these visits we have observed a number of hazards.  In an effort to help the nursing home industry in this state better train their own employees in hazard recognition we have developed this series of pages to self-identify serious hazards commonly found in nursing homes.  Not all of the pictures in the following links are hazards.  We know that many of you have asked what is a solution to our problems so we have also included some pictures of solutions to some of the situations we find.  If you have a picture of either a hazard or solution that you think we should include please contact us at the email address below and we will be glad to consider your idea.


NOTE: Some images have a high resolution and may take a short time to load over a modem.  Your patience is greatly appreciated.
