Oklahoma Nursing Home Sued for Negligence

Posted on July 19th, 2010 No Comments

According to the Sequoyah County Times, “A medical negli­gence lawsuit has been filed against Vian Nurs­ing Home and its stock­holders/owners in Se­quoyah County District Court.”

Raymond Foreman lived at the home from December 2006 to July 2008. When Foreman died on July 20, according to the Sequoyah County Times, “his nasal and oral cavities were allegedly infested with maggots, causing him to suf­fer aspiration pneumonia.”

According to the lawsuit, not only was the standard of car violated, there was not an adequate number of staff to provide care. The lawsuit seeks over $75,000 in compensation for damages.

Three Iowa nursing homes fined

Posted on March 29th, 2010 No Comments

Three nursing homes in Iowa were fined for various violations, including verbally abusing patients.

One home in Dallas County was fined $2,000 for verbal abuse and a new administrator was brought in. Another violation occurred when an 85-year-old man was found in distress, unresponsive and frothing at the mouth and the suctioning machine that would have helped him was not plugged in and suction was not available. The resident did not survive because of this mistake.

The director of another nursing home was fired for threatening seven employees by telling them they would be fired if they reported concerns to inspectors. The final nursing home was fined for demoting the administrator after she faxed a list of complaints to state inspectors.

If you or a loved one has been the victim of nursing home abuse, contact the Iowa nursing home abuse lawyers of LaMarca & Landry, P.C. by calling 877-327-2600.
