When you trust a Miami nursing home to provide for the health and safety of residents, it is horrifying to find out that your loved one developed bedsores because of misconduct. Statistics from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shed some light on the severity of the problem: 

• Anywhere from 2% to 28% of residents in assisted living facilities have developed bedsores, also termed pressure ulcers.
• Individuals living in a nursing home for less than 12 months were more likely to develop these wounds than those with longer stays.
