A Knoxville resident is facing serious charges after police say her 74-year-old father suffered extreme neglect—his diabetes untreated and bedsores so severe that his bones were exposed. The man, bedridden since a stroke, was found with a blood sugar level over 600 and wounds requiring multiple surgeries. Authorities discovered unused medication at home, raising tough questions about caregiver responsibility and how vulnerable adults can fall through the cracks. This case is a wake-up call for our community: How can we better protect our elders and ensure those in need get proper care? #Health #BodyHealth #Knoxville
