A Florida woman plans to sue a nursing home, alleging that staff neglected to treat her father's bedsore wounds and then tried to cover the smell with coffee grounds. One day, during a visit, she and her brother-in-law found piles of coffee grounds under his bed, First Coast News reported. Wright told First Coast News that when visiting the nursing home last month, her brother-in-law noticed coffee grounds underneath her father's bed. Coffee grounds contain nitrogen from caffeine, and the element helps to neutralize sulfur, which gives many unpleasant smells their stench. Wright alleges that staff used the coffee grounds to hide the odor of an infection from Frank's bedsore on his buttocks.
