Suicide at Pennsylvania Nursing Home, License Affected
Loretta Benzel made suicidal threats at The Willows, the Pennsylvania nursing home she resided at, on September 19, 2009. According to a recent Pennsylvania Department of Health report, facility staff failed to act on her threats for five days. On September 24, 2009, the eighty-nine year old woman committed suicide by crawling out her third floor window and falling 32 feet to her death.
The license of the Presbyterian SeniorCare nursing home has been downgraded to a six month provisional license as a result of Ms. Benzel's death.
