A man died from infected bedsores within four weeks of being admitted into a nursing home because his care was inadequate, an inquest has ruled.
He had been taken to hospital suffering with 18 bedsores.
The neglected and Abused Elder was grossly unkempt, covered in dry feces and one of his sores could not be measured because he was in such pain.
The Elder was admitted to a nursing home at which time he had three pressure sores but within four weeks he was in a life threatening condition and was re-admitted to hospital with 18 sores. says California Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Attorney Steven C. Peck.
The nursing home staff staff failed to adequately review and assess the Elder's admission or ensure an effective care plan was in place. As a result thereof, the Decubitus Ulcers aka Bed Sores and Pressure Sores became severely infected causing the elder's death.
