John Roe v. Assisted Living Home

Outcome: $290,000

Description: An 81-year-old man arrived at the emergency room from an assisted living facility with multiple bed sores all over his back and on his heels, and was diagnosed with severe dehydration. He died less than 30 days later of an infection related to his condition. Records from the nursing home repeatedly claim the resident had “clear” skin, even an exam conducted on the date of his transfer to the hospital.
