Two nursing homes in Minnesota committed negligence. A worker found a resident unresponsive, not breathing, and without a pulse. Instead of following protocol and administering CPR, she called the police and coroner. She decided it was too late to save the patient, even though the resident’s chart indicated resuscitation in an emergency.
Another resident at a different Minnesota nursing home suffered neglect. The nurse failed to regularly check the resident’s health, as instructed before her shift. This negligence caused the resident to die.
When reckless conduct occurs, it leaves innocent nursing home residents in bad situations when they are already vulnerable. We must work together to protect our families and speak out against dangerous nursing homes. We know that the right to a citizen jury trial in civil cases is one of the best ways to hold bad actors in situations like this accountable.
