What Compensation Can a Cleveland Bedsores Nursing Home Attorney Recover for My Loved One?

Our Cleveland Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys Understand Bedsore Injuries
Bedsores (also called pressure sores or pressure ulcers) are sometimes unavoidable. However, most can be prevented by providing adequate care for immobile or bed-bound patients or others who struggle to change positions on their own.
Nursing home staff members have a duty to residents to provide adequate care and support and do everything possible to prevent, monitor, and treat bedsores.
- Prevention: Nursing home staff should reposition immobile residents, maintain hygiene, and use pressure-relieving cushions to protect vulnerable patients.
- Monitoring: Properly trained staff must regularly check vulnerable residents for signs of pressure sores. They should have a record of any changes.
- Treatment: If a resident develops bedsores, the facility must provide timely medical care, including wound management, infection prevention, and necessary interventions for future prevention.
Failure to prevent or treat bedsores could support a nursing home neglect and abuse case. Our legal team may be able to pursue legal action for damages.
Contact Jenner Law today for a free, confidential consultation. We can help you better understand your rights and legal options and offer a case assessment to determine if we believe your loved one’s bedsores are a sign of neglect.
