New York Nursing Home Fined in Nun's Death
Sr. Mary Daniel
We discussed the tragic injury and death of Sister Mary Daniel in our previous blog. Sr. Mary was found on the floor in her room on August 31 bleeding profusely after a freestanding closet unit fell on her. She died on September 7 from a fractured skull.
Summit Park Hospital and Nursing Care Center has been fined $10,000 by the State of New York for failing to secure the 200 pound freestanding closet to the wall. The facility must also pay $2,000 for failing to take action for two similar previous incidents.
