BED SORES

Nursing homes are expected to provide their residents with thorough care and dedicated attention. Failure to offer these senior citizens and disabled individuals the regular care they need to remain healthy can lead to serious problems, including bed sores. Sheer neglect of residents in nursing homes has been tied to the development of bed sores, which can turn into a deadly problem.

Bed sores can provide a gateway to bacteria, leading to devastating infections. Additionally, bed sores have been linked to an increased risk of cancer. If you or someone you love has developed bed sores as a result of nursing home negligent, it can be important to discuss your claim in detail with a compassionate advisor. Contact the St. Louis bed sores attorneys of the Finney Law Office today by calling 314-646-0300.

Causes of Bed Sores

Bed sores, sometimes called pressure ulcers or pressure sores, often receive treatment similar to burn wounds. This is because pressure sores progress like burns do, eventually creating a substantial area of dead tissue if not promptly treated. These open wounds, apparent by the presence of dead, black skin, can provide ample opportunity for a resident to develop a serious infection. These infections can seriously endanger the life of the senior. Bed sores may be caused by the following problems:

  • Malnutrition
  • Long-term immobilization
  • Diabetes
  • Poor hygienic practices
  • Dehydration
  • Friction, even against bed sheets

Even small bed sores can quickly develop into large, open wounds. If nursing home workers fail to help their residents in preventing and treating these injuries, the consequences can threaten the person’s health and well-being.

Bed sores can be extremely painful and potentially life-threatening if left untreated. If you or someone you love has sustained these injuries because of a negligent eldercare worker, contact the St. Louis bed sore lawyers of the Finney Law Office at 314-646-0300 today for more information.
