California Nursing Home Cited in Death of Resident
Colonial HealthCare was hit with a Class AA citation for inadequate care that led to the 2007 death of one of its residents.
The resident, who was 83 years old, fell and fractured several ribs. He died after suffering "excruciating, unrelieved pain" for 21 hours and then being given an "excessive dose" of a narcotic pain medication.
This is the third time since 2007 that the facility has been cited with such a penalty.
