Nursing Home Negligence
Nursing Home Negligence
Recent developments in the nursing home industry have resulted in health care conglomerates buying up nursing homes that were once locally owned and operated. Like HMOs these corporations are focused on generating profits, often at the expense of the health and safety of the patients. Family members may suspect that their loved ones are receiving substandard care but may be uncomfortable asking questions until it is too late.
Some of the signs of neglect are:
- Soiled bed sheets
- Bad odors
- Presence of decubitus ulcers (sometimes called pressure sores or bed sores)
- These sores are usually not visible as they are most common on the back, buttocks, heel, and back of the thigh.
Nursing homes sometimes go to great lengths to conceal these bed sores because they realize that it is the most recognizable sign of neglect. These sores occur when patients are left in one position for an extended period of time. The skin, and later the muscle, actually breaks down and becomes an ulcer. These sores are extremely painful and if left untreated can be life threatening.
