Stage IV Pressure Ulcer at Nursing Home

Our client was admitted to a Virginia nursing home with just a small area of redness on her sacrum. One month later the nursing home notified the family that she had an infected bedsore. The bed sore had progressed to a Stage IV deep and open wound. She required a lengthy hospitalization and debridement of the wound. In litigation, we discovered numerous incidents of apparent falsification of medical records. On multiple occasions, nurses were documenting care when the patient was not even in the nursing home or when the nurses were not on duty. The case was settled a couple weeks before trial during a mediation.
