Suit filed against two nursing homes, hospital
LTC Liability Monitor, September 13, 2006
The daughter of a nursing home resident who died last year filed a civil suit against two New York nursing homes and a hospital for the resident's death, reported CBS. The resident died of infection, the result of untreated bedsores, according to her daughter's lawsuit. The suit alleges the resident suffered from malnutrition, dehydration, and untreated bedsores at the various facilities. An attorney for one of the nursing homes said that the resident refused to eat, but the family wouldn't consent to insertion of a feeding tube while in that facility. And the bedsore in question had healed before the resident left the facility, contends the nursing home charged, according to the CBS report.
