Understanding Norristown nursing home abuse: Elderly residents in Montgomery County and Norristown, PA, nursing homes and assisted-living facilities could be at risk of abuse, neglect, bed sores, or even wrongful death. Certain nursing home facilities in the Norristown area and within Montgomery County have failed to provide quality care to their residents. This has resulted in avoidable injuries, some of them life-threatening. Unfortunately, many Norristown nursing homes are for-profit entities. They focus on maximizing revenue rather than providing proper care to their residents. As a result, staffing levels are kept dangerously low, which many times leads to neglect and/or abuse.

It is crucial to obtain an experienced Montgomery County, Philadelphia, or Norristown nursing home abuse attorney, such as Brian P. Murphy, before an injury, pressure ulcer, or other form of negligence or abuse occurs. With years of experience winning nursing home lawsuits, The Law Firm of Brian Murphy, P.C. will help you create an action plan to prevent, control, or react to any abuse or neglect your loved one may experience.

Bed Sores

Known as pressure sores, decubitis ulcers, or simply bedsores, these are localized portions of skin damage that arise from prolonged periods of pressure against specific areas of the body. They are very serious and can be life-threatening. It’s a concern to many Montgomery County and Norristown, Pennsylvania, nursing home residents. If left untreated, serious medical problems can develop and potentially lead to death. Care facilities and nursing homes have a responsibility to prevent these wounds by regularly turning residents so they are not positioned on one body part for too long. Pressure ulcers begin as small, coin-sized red marks that, without proper attention and care, have the potential to develop into large deep wounds.
