Negligence in a Nursing Home
Are you worried about nursing home neglect? Are you worried about the quality of care you get at a care facility?
You have the right to select your place of residence. Even if your local authority arranges and finances the whole or a portion of your care facility, you should not be directed to reside there.

SORES FROM PRESSURE
Pressure sores are ulcers that form as a result of sustained pressure or friction on one part of the body. This disrupts regular blood flow, causing the cells to die and the skin to degrade. Pressure sores are sometimes referred to as bedsores, pressure ulcers, and decubitus ulcers. They are notoriously difficult to cure and are prone to infection. They may result in necrosis.
