I do not understand why no one is held responible. Please explain this to me . She went in thè ènď of Jan. And passed away thè enď of March.
You get decubitus ulcers or compression sores from prolonged pressure. (Like shoulders, buttocks and heels on a mattress.)
No one can "put" them there but it sounds as if they weren't turning her every 2-3 hours to relieve the pressure. If she was bedridden, she should have had a gel or foam mattress or alternating air mattress to help with preventing the sores.
I would first arrange a meeting with the director of nurses and have her chart available. Have her explain to you what happened. Then, depending on the outcome, you can contact an attorney that specializes in elder law or the ombudsman for the facility. Their number is usually posted in public view in the building your mom was in.
I'm sorry this happened. You should investigate further.
