Resident death is not facility's fault
LTC Liability Monitor, August 10, 2006
A Columbus, OH, nursing home was not to blame for the death of a resident who died after she fell from her wheelchair, reported the Columbus Dispatch. The Ohio Department of Health found the facility free of wrongdoing in the June 26 death. The nursing home said it is improving its security system to lower the risk of a resident wandering. However, neither the health department nor nursing home officials would confirm earlier reports that the resident was outside on the facility's property and unattended when she fell, according to the Columbus Dispatch.
