The injuries suffered by people in residential care settings might reflect carelessness, intentional abuse or a combination of both. For example, if a resident is assaulted by a fellow resident or staff member, the assailant's conduct is intentional, but the facility might be found to have been negligent in its hiring, training or supervision.

- Injuries resulting from unsafe property conditions
- Complications of malnutrition or dehydration
- Severe bedsores and other signs of chronic neglect
