Bed Sores

Bed Sores and Nursing Home Neglect

Bed sores are one of the most common results of negligence on the part of an elder care provider or nursing home. Lack of proper attention, such as repositioning an elderly person in bed or assisting them in and out of bed regularly, can cause bed sores. If you have noticed such injuries on your parent, grandparent, or other elderly loved one, and you suspect or know it is the result of neglect, we can help.

Bed sores, pressure sores, and decubitus ulcers are painful. Left untreated, they can lead to other serious conditions, such as infections. If a person is the victim of negligence, they may also be dealing with malnutrition or dehydration, factors which interfere with the body's ability to heal its wounds. All of these factors can create an extremely dangerous situation.

Nursing homes and care facilities are businesses. However, that is no excuse for them to put the bottom line in front of the health and safety of the people they are responsible for. There is no excuse for creating an unsafe environment through insufficient staffing, training, and pay for the workers. Your loved one deserves to be treated with care. When that does not happen, we will be there.
