Bed Sores
 

My mom had Bed Sores in March 2026 and went Sepsis and went into a heart attack and passed Away in April 2026 .I noticed my mom was rattling alot in her chest ,had to send a message to nurse that she needed to go to ER ,she was sent to local hospital and then airlifted to another facility ,she passed away 

The Nursing Home wasn't turning her, she was bed ridden ,they didnt take time to get her up with the lift !
