Immediately alert your loved one's caregiver. If the caregiver seems to push it off, insist they immediately treat it or the bedsore will grow very quickly. You will have to stay on top of the staff. If, within an hour, the caregiver does not start treatment, notify the nursing home administrators and your loved one’s doctors. If you believe the bedsore developed because the caregivers and/or staff are neglecting your loved one, contact a St. Louis nursing home lawyer and file a complaint with the state board for nursing homes. The state board will send investigators to the nursing home. If the nursing home board finds that the home was negligent or otherwise broke the rules, the board may fine the home. Ask for a copy of the state’s report as that could help you should you file a lawsuit.
