Understanding Bedsore and Nursing Home Negligence

Bedsores, also known as pressure ulcers, are painful and potentially dangerous conditions often caused due to prolonged pressure on the skin. These are common among patients who are bedridden or have limited mobility. Nursing homes and care facilities have a duty to ensure that these conditions are prevented and treated promptly.

However, not all facilities meet these standards. Neglect, understaffing, inadequate training, and other issues can lead to the rapid development and worsening of bedsores. Beyond bedsores, there are numerous other forms of negligence and abuse that occur within nursing homes, including physical abuse, emotional abuse, and financial exploitation.
