Allegations of Abuse at Napa Nursing Home
I’m Ed Smith, a Sacramento Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer. Following the death of 87-year-old Napa resident Frances Blanton, the Napa Valley Care Center is being sued for elder abuse, negligent hiring practices as well as negligence on the part of staff supervisors. The suit, filed by the daughter of the deceased, alleges that the staff did not provide the necessary care which ultimately resulted in the alleged wrongful death of her mother. Frances had initially been transferred to the residential care facility after falling in her home and fracturing her pelvis. She was admitted to the center for rehabilitation and to prevent further illness including assistance maintaining personal hygiene, proper nutrition and hydration, and frequent repositioning to prevent pressure sores (commonly known as bed sores).
