When a loved one develops painful bed sores in a nursing home, it’s often a clear sign of neglect.
Bed sores, also called pressure ulcers, develop when a person remains in one position for too long, cutting off blood flow to the skin. Nursing homes are required by law to take preventive steps, such as repositioning residents, providing clean bedding, and monitoring for early signs of irritation. When these basic standards are ignored, vulnerable residents can develop painful wounds that quickly worsen. Severe bed sores can lead to infection, sepsis, and even death.
