Yes. Bedsores are one of the most common signs of neglect I see, and many are preventable. Under California's Elder Abuse Act, failing to meet a resident's basic needs is neglect. That said, deadlines to file can be short, so if you are looking at filing a lawsuit, it is important to retain legal counsel quickly.
