Woman Dies in Nursing Home Due to Lack of Care

Posted by Rick PattersonDecember 26, 2007 5:35 PM

Nursing home care has long been a concern. Families leave their loved ones in the care of others and many times that care falls short of what one would expect. Recently a nursing home known as Pacific Coast Manor was issued the most severe citation under state law. In addition to the citation, they were fined $100,000 after a state investigation concluded inadequate care led to the death of a female resident at that nursing home.


Apparently Pacific Coast Manor failed to monitor the elderly woman's drug intake and combination of drugs. As a result, she died. The nursing home has since filed an appeal. Nursing homes are a huge businesses in the United States, and there are many big chains out there. Pacific Coast Manor is owned by Covenant Care of Aliso Viejo.
