Effective Representation for Nursing Home Residents

Contrary to what a nursing home may tell you, bed sores are not inevitable. With proper care, they are preventable. In fact, there are federal regulations stressing the importance of prevention. As with nursing home falls, preventing injuries from pressure sores starts with an accurate assessment of the resident's risk factors. Some of these factors are:

• Nutritional needs
• Ability to feel sensation (for example, those with paralysis cannot feel the discomfort that would ordinarily cause them to shift position)
• Diabetes or diabetic neuropathy

To prevent bed sores, nursing home staff must take proper precautions, such as using air mattresses, rotating resident's with limited mobility and addressing dietary needs.

When bed sores develop and are left untreated, they can become infected and result in amputation or even death. We will investigate all aspects of your specific situation and give you an honest assessment of your legal options.
