Nursing Home Bedsores
and Preventable
By Jeff Stewart, The Bell Law Firm
Are
Bedsores -- or pressure
ulcers -- are one of the
biggest problems faced by
residents of nursing homes.
They also can be more
dangerous than most
people realize. Yet they
can and should be avoided.

Dangerous
Information from the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC)
indicates that as many as
one out of 10 nursing home
residents suffers from bedsores, and there are signs that the problem is
increasing. The skin is the largest organ of the human body. When pressure
to the skin is unrelieved, especially in areas where bone and skin are in
close contact, the skin can break down and bedsores become more likely.
Elderly persons with decreased mobility and such conditions as diabetes
and poor circulation are at greater risk.
When not treated properly, bedsores can lead to more serious conditions,
including cancer, bone infections, bacterial infections, tissue inflammation or
meningitis. Bedsores also incur higher costs of care and longer nursing
home stays.
Bedsores are avoidable. Even Florence Nightingale knew that in 1859,
when she wrote that if a patient "has a bed sore, it is generally the fault no{
of the disease, but of the nursing." Today, several strategies can be used
to prevent bedsores or treat them when they occur. In fact, the law
requires such action.
Whenever you have a loved one in a nursing home, make sure the
nursing staff uses the proper techniques to prevent and treat bedsores.
Frequent issues with bedsores can be a sign of abuse or neglect.
If you suspect negligence or abuse, consider calling leaders in the field,
such as The Bell Law Firm of Charleston, which has successfully
represented many families in cases against nursing homes on behalf of
abused elderly residents and their families. The initial consultation is free,
and The Bell Law Firm gets paid only if the case is won. Getting ready to
put someone in a nursing home? Call for a free document review.
