The distraught family of a grandmother who died after suffering horrific pressure sores in a care home said today the tragedy must never be repeated.

The Elder died from blood poisoning due to infected sores on her feet says California Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Attorney Steven Peck. The Bed Sores, Pressure Sores also known as Decubitus Ulcers had become so severe her skin had worn through to the bone.

The Pathologist who carried out the post-mortem examination, said the sores on her left foot were the worst grade they could be, and penetrated so deeply they reached the bone causing the infection. The elder was also suffering severe dehydration and renal failure and died. The cause of death was sepsis – an infection of the blood due to pressure sores.
