Colorado Nursing Home Sued for Elder Abuse
Parkmoore Village Healthcare Center has been sued for allegations of elder abuse.
Paul Johnson cares for his friend, Bill Starkey, and has beeing doing so for at least a year. A few months ago, Mr. Johnson noticed that Mr. Starkey's room smelled like urine, that the call light was on the floor, and Mr. Starkey would not be receiving oxygen as required. When management was confronted about the unsatisfactory conditions, Mr. Johnson was told that they were short-handed and getting a new staff.
On September 14, 2009, Bill Starkey pulled out his catheter and the facility reportedly did not notify Mr. Johnson or a physician. Starkey was sent to the hospital, where he required a blood transfusion to save his life.
Starkey has since been removed from Parkmoor Village and Johnson has filed a lawsuit on behalf of Mr. Starkey alleging elder abuse and insurance fraud.
