Nursing home faces arbitration after resident’s death
A nursing home abuse and neglect lawsuit is being filed in New Mexico after a resident died in a nursing home. According to the plaintiff, his wife died as a result of gross negligence on behalf of the nursing home staff. He says that findings of two independent investigations by state agencies corroborate his nursing home abuse and neglect allegations.
The nursing home took the victim off of a drug and she then experienced withdrawal. Ultimately, the failure to give the drug to the patient resulted in her seizure and fall, the health department investigation found.
