Protect your elderly parents from bedsores

As our parents and other loved ones age, the likelihood that they will spend time at a hospital or a rehabilitation center grows.  There they are subject to getting bedsores. Bedsores are a serious problem but entirely preventible. To encourage the institution to do their job in properly taking care of your loved ones, take photographs.  Photographs are the before pictures.  They show the condition of your loved ones heals, back, etc upon admittance.  If bedsores start to develop, complain immediately and show them the "before" pictures.  If this does not prompt them to better service, take your loved ones to a different institution.
