Settlement in Nursing Home Lawsuit

In a case I blogged about back in February, an Illinois woman involved in a lawsuit over the alleged wrongful death of an 89-year-old Alzheimer’s patient has pleaded guilty to criminal neglect, according to the Chicago Tribune.

The victim died of hypothermia earlier this year after wandering out of the Arbor of Itasca nursing home in freezing temperatures. The nursing assistant in charge did not respond when Plaintiff triggered an alarm. A nursing home wrongful death lawsuit is currently pending against the Arbor of Itasca nursing home.
