Bed Sores and Elderly Neglect
Bed sores, also known as skin ulcers, occur when certain parts of the body (such as the tailbone, elbows, buttocks or heels) are put under pressure causing the skin to break down and become infected. In the most severe cases, bed sores can progress beyond the skin and affect the bone beneath. This can cause infection to the bone, and can even necessitate amputation if not treated. However, bed sores are entirely preventable with proper medical care and treatment.
