Work to eradicate MRSA and clostridium difficile is a priority for protecting elder and dependant adults in long term care facilities says California Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Lawyer Steven Peck.
These type of serious infections can be eradicated if long term care facilites would monitor their facilities for cleanliness and give the pateints quality care. Infections are not inevitable.
A greater focus on cleanliness should include improved bed cleaning and hand hygiene, and the introduction of MRSA screening so that emergency patients are checked for signs of the infection when they are admitted to avoid contamination on wards.
Bed sores in long term care facilities are also a problem and are distressing to patients, may prolong the time they spend in hospital, and cause further health probelms including death.
