Bed sores, also known as pressure ulcers, are a very serious concern in many Norristown nursing homes. If left untreated, serious medical problems can develop and potentially lead to death.

Bed sores are wounds induced by constant pressure wearing down skin on certain parts of the body. Nursing homes and other care facilities have a responsibility to prevent these wounds by frequently turning residents so they are not positioned on one body part for too long. Pressure ulcers begin as coin-sized red marks that, without proper attention and care, have the potential to develop into large deep wounds.
