Often called a super bug because of its drug resistence, C. difficile is common in hospitals and nursing homes. It tends to hit elderly people who have an underlying health condition, such as inflammatory bowel disease or immunodeficiency and who are also receiving antibiotics.
It causes diarrhea, dehydrating a patient and complicating their medical condition, and many times death.
Although elderly residents are awarded certain nursing home rights, some facilities, either unknowingly or intentionally, may violate these basic rights.
