  An analysis of internal documents shows residents at more than two thirds of Department of Veterans Affairs nursing homes last year were more likely to have serious bed sores, as well as suffer serious pain, than their counterparts in private nursing homes across the country. The analysis suggests that large numbers of veterans suffered potential neglect or medication mismanagement and provide a fuller picture of the state of care in the 133 VA nursing homes that serve 46,000 sick and infirm military veterans each year. VA has withheld the data from public view, but USA TODAY and The Boston Globe obtained it and are publishing it here for the first time.
