Bed Sores & Pressure Ulcers In NJ-FL Nursing Homes
Bed sores and pressure wounds
(pressure ulcer wound) occur all too often in Florida and New Jersey
nursing homes. These bed ulcers, as caused when a resident is left
unturned, can lead to infection, ischemia,
necrosis, gangrene and loss of body tissue, bone, organs and limbs
(arm or leg amputation).
Bedsores are serious wounds that
develop on a nursing home resident's skin due to prolonged pressure with
a surface such as a bed, wheelchair, chair or seat without bodily
movement to allow proper circulation and blood flow. Our FL-NJ nursing home lawyers
and attorneys at Law
Offices of Yale I. Markus know that such sores are very painful and can
be life-threatening.
Friction or shear pressure ulcers and
bed sores, may afflict up to 25% of nursing home patients in New
Jersey and Florida, can usually be prevented in any or all of the
following ways:
-
proper provision of food and water
-
clean and dry clothing, linens and bed
sheets
-
frequent repositioning of immobilized
nursing home residents
-
providing soft padding as part of
bedding, chairs, and wheelchair seats
-
keeping the skin clean, dry, and
providing immediate care at the first signs of injury
Our FL-NJ nursing home attorney-lawyer is
here to speak with you. Stay aware of indications of substandard care,
including poor wound care leading to bedsores or pressure ulcers.
Prompt care and treatment often results in a better outcome. If
serious injury results, we are happy to talk about your possible case or
lawsuit.
