Elderly Dad has bedsore caused by facility, really don’t know what the next steps should be and would love any advice 🥺

Wound care and PCP says debridement, but the facility says absolutely not because it will take longer to heal that way which may put him in the hospital (aka deepening the wound via debridement could escalate the wound to stage 4).

This facility caused the bedsore, so of course we don’t want to believe their approach is the right approach… however, my dad has Parkinson’s and dementia and every time he’s hospitalized, he nearly dies because the environment is so hard on him. My siblings and I are so lost and don’t know what to do. Any advice would be so amazing
