What are unsafe practices in care homes?

Unsafe practices in care homes can include inadequate staff training, leading to improper handling of residents' medical needs, and insufficient supervision, which increases the risk of accidents and injuries. Poor hygiene and sanitation protocols can result in the spread of infections among residents. Additionally, neglecting to perform regular risk assessments may leave hazards unaddressed, compromising resident safety. Lastly, failing to maintain proper communication among staff can lead to medication errors and a lack of coordinated care.
