Tennessee Nursing Home Faces $13 Million Lawsuit for Wrongful Death
The family Alice Laverne Britton has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Asbury Place for the 2008 death of Ms. Britton. The suit alleges that negligence contribute to Ms. Britton's death. She had been a resident of Asbury Place since 2005. The suit alleges that Ms. Britton did not receive proper nutritional care and was severely malnourished and dehydrated at her death in July 2008. The suit further alleges that two unskilled nursing employees dropped Ms. Britton, breaking her femur. Her injury went untreated initially.
In addition to the allegations listed above, Ms. Britton had bed sores that went untreated until they were severe. She was placed on hospice care on May 1, 2008 and once hospice became involved, the facility allowed Ms. Britton to "rapidly deteriorate" by relinquishing its duties.
The facility also faces allegations that the facililty failed to properly monitor and prescribe medication that caused Ms. Britton to bleed internally.
