This. He is going to need to go to a rehab facility after the ER.

I would go to the ER. Assisted living places are notoriously bad about handling wound care. Have the hospital set up after-care before leaving. Don’t depend on the facility to care for it. That’s how my Dad ended up septic.

Typically the physician has to “prescribe” or order this in order to get it started and covered. Contact the physician.

Outside agencies may provide daily (not twice a day) or less frequent wound care, which they are getting already? May need to go to a skilled nursing facility temporarily. Call the doctor to get the proper orders. Also, can a family member be trained to do the wound care?

Is this a pressure sore? Take him to the ER. My father (also Parkinsons) progressed to stage 4 while being monitored by a wound care specialist. It is not a simple issue after a certain point.
