Wisconsin Nursing Home Faces Lawsuit Due to Resident Death
Seventy-four year old Jesse Brown had been a resident of Alden Meadow Park Health Care Center in Clinton, Wisconsin since March 2006. On February 21, 2007, Mr. Brown complained of severe abdominal pain and was taken to Beloit Memorial Hospital and died there on February 22, 2007 from a severely impacted bowel.
According to court documents, Printess Pritchard, Mr. Brown's son, is suing the nursing home for failing to hire qualified staff and negligence. The lawsuit also alleges that the nursing home facility failed to adhere to the regulations of the federal Nursing Home Reform Act of 1987.
