When an older person is treated with such cruelty, illness or injury could occur. Physical abuse, neglect, or lack of proper care could result in bedsores or other infections which, if left unattended, could result in sepsis. Without proper supervision, a patient could wander or elope, or they could suffer a fall. Also, improper nutritional care could result in malnutrition or dehydration, which could escalate to more serious medical conditions.
