No Place Like Nursing Home

A few days ago the national Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released a report on nursing homes throughout the country targeted for high-risk pressure ulcer and/or physical restraint improvement. Pressure ulcers are the same as bed sores, and are a result of someone who can't move without assistance staying in the same position too long. It's always necessary that they be moved in a timely fashion. Physical restraint is when someone's movements are restricted, with the idea of protecting themselves and/or others from aggressive behavior or moving about. It's not always a necessary measure.

Oregon has 33 such nursing homes which I'm listing here. Something to consider when placing a loved one in these facilities.
