Bed Sores & Infection

Our client, a dependent adult with respiratory issues and limited mobility, was admitted to a congregate living health facility for skilled nursing care. Despite his complex medical needs, the facility failed to provide proper hygiene, wound prevention, nutrition, and respiratory support. He developed a severe, infected Stage IV pressure ulcer that was concealed from his family until he was hospitalized in critical condition. He was diagnosed with sepsis, MRSA, osteomyelitis, and severe malnutrition, and died shortly thereafter. This case settled confidentially for $1,100,000.00.
