Bed sores Rank High in Nursing Home Neglect Cases
Bed sores are the most common causes of nursing home neglect cases. These sores are also called pressure ulcers, as they are often caused when lack of mobility creates pressure that blocks circulation and kills tissue. This condition afflicts those who are confined to a bed or wheelchair for long periods of time without the following:
- proper nursing services
- cleaning
- frequent repositioning
- sanitary check ups
