Elders Routinely Develop Bed Sores, Decubitus Ulcers and Pressure Sores In Long Term Care Facilities says Los Angeles Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Lawyer Steven Peck

The elderly man developed an infection and bed sores also known as decubitus ulcers and pressure ulcers in his Hospital after being left in a soiled bed by staff who would not help her use a toilet. or take her to the bathroom. This type of scenario often transpires in long term care facilities says California Elder Abuse Lawyer Steven Peck.

He also went hungry and thirsty and was reduced to saying: “I want to die, I want to die.” Horrible despicable treatment.

The problem is with the attitude of nurses who do not want to provide basic support to frail elders who are many times totally dependant on the nurses for help for eating, drinking, washing or going to the bathroom.
