I can actually see the possibility that this is not the fault of the staff. My own mother had breast cancer and was so modest she refused to tell anyone. Eventually our suspicions grew about her refusal to go to a doctor for routine checkups and it was found and treated, but not before a large hole was eaten into her breast!
Add to this the fact that with the possibility of sex abuse being charged against caregivers at nursing homes, they may not have paid as much attention to that area of the patient when bathing, etc. If he made no complaints about it I would think it would be hard to find without actually getting pretty personal.

poor reporting or poor medical care? I say both!
Condition noted when changing diaper; care manager notified but he forgot to tell doc; second report made 3.5 months later; two weeks after that, patient brought to ER. That's the timeline the story lays out.
Did no one change the diaper in that 15 week period between reports? Don't they wash the patient when doing so? Not one staff member thought to make an additional report in between?
if that is even remotely close to what happened, shut 'em down. Shut them down now.

Genitals and disintegrate should never be used int he same sentence, the mental picture is enough to make you squirm.

Three problems - 1) proving negligence (which doesn’t seem to be a problem in this case); 2) establishing cause/effect; and 3) assessing damages.
1) Slam dunk - negligence on its face.
2) The news story cannot establish, nor can plaintiff without serious effort, state that the negligence, not the cancer, caused the pt’s issues.
3) Damages - just how much do you think a 93 y/o pt, with cancer, in a nursing home is going to be able to claim in damages?
Where was the family during all of this? Why didn’t the pt complain to them or his MD directly?

I believe it.
IMHO, any disabled elderly who enter an average standard of care nursing home in the USA run the risk of being of one of two destinations after a given period of time:
either sent to a hospital with a far worse and different ailment than they entered the nursing home with, or sent to the funeral home.

Nursing homes suck so bad. We had a familt friend in one dying painfully from cancer. He was on liquid oxycontin for the pain and the nurse was stealing it for herself and not giving it to him and he was to frail to speak or communicate so he was dying in agony while this woman got her jollies. Family only found out when they saw the nurse take his dose and pocket the bottle. Cops raided her house and found like 100 empty bottles of the liquid oxy plus pain killers from all her other patients. People are sick.
