Attorney seeks class-action status for Kentucky nursing home suit
The attorney for a Plaintiff who suffered from improper care at the Lakeside Heights Nursing Home in Covington, KY is seeking class-action status for anyone who was a resident at the home since January, 2000, in a case filed last week in the U.S. District court in Covington. The complaint alleges poor lighting, overpowering odors of human waste, understaffed crews and general improper medical care.
