My mother is completely immobile. She was in a hospital for 1 month without any pressure sores/open sores. The hospital wanted us to place her in a long term care facility seeing as they dont offer this. We moved her to a nursing home & the second day she was there we could tell she hadnt been bathed and that she hadnt been turned because she had an open sore on her ear with purple bruising as if she had layed on that side since the previous day. She also has scratches on her legs and open sores on her sides and on her butt. She is on a vent and we have had to suction her ourselves because no CNA/RN tended to her. She has only been in this place for 5 days and her health is deteriorating. We are scared for her life and we wanted to know can we take legal action against them?
