Maggots In Open Wounds In At Florida Nursing Home

A man admitted to Azalea Court Nursing and Rehabilitation Center for rehab for a broken leg, soon realized he was getting more than rehab at the facility he chose to help him- maggots.  The maggots were seen in an open wound during a dressing change.  Azalea Court's complaint and inspection reports from the past several years did not reveal any glaring problems. Investigators from the State Attorney’s Office visited Tuesday.  Read more about the maggots here.

This is a prime example of neglect nursing homes.  Nursing homes are required to provide the best care possible for their residents.  The failure to clean and open wound is a clear case of patient neglect.
