Potential Causes of Bedsores in Nursing Home Neglect Cases
According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, bedsores most often develop on patients with mobility issues. If nursing home staff do not rotate or move a bedridden or wheelchair-bound individual often enough to stimulate blood flow, the patient can develop painful pressure ulcers on their legs, arms, back, neck, hips, heels, and other areas. If not treated promptly, bedsores can become infected and lead to septic shock or even death.
Nursing home neglect leading to bedsores and other injuries can occur for many reasons, including:
- Understaffing
- Poor hiring practices
- Inadequate staff training
- Frequent staff turnover
- Lack of supervision
In addition to bedsores, these negligent nursing home practices can result in the following harm to residents:
- Inadequate personal hygiene, such as dirty clothes and lack of bathing
- Malnutrition
- Dehydration
- Illness
- Lack of medical treatment
- Medication errors
- Mental, emotional, and psychological harm
- Wrongful death
