Attorneys For Nursing Home Neglect

Bedsores are a common sign of nursing home neglect. Also known as pressure sores or decubitus ulcers, bedsores are caused when blood pools into pressure points where a person’s body meets a bed, couch or wheelchair and is not moved for an extended length of time. If you notice bedsores on a loved one in a nursing home or other long-term care facility, you may be dealing with nursing home negligence.

Nursing Home Negligence Lawyers Who Can Protect Your Loved Ones

Bedsores frequently occur as a result of nursing home staff failing to:

  • Monitor residents
  • Turn or readjust immobile residents periodically
  • Provide pressure-relieving devices such as air mattresses or thick pillows
  • Provide proper nutrition for residents

When a nursing home resident is confined to a bed or wheelchair, staff members have a duty to move that person periodically to prevent bedsores from developing. Failure to supervise nursing home staff can result in bedsores that could have been avoided by careful monitoring and attention. Once a bedsore develops, efficient diagnosis and treatment are essential.

  • Back of the head
