Marty Kardon with Bedsore.Law is proud to announce a $2.25 million settlement on behalf of the family of an 85-year-old veteran and a grandad whose tragic and completely preventable death highlights the critical need for accountability in nursing home care. This case serves as a reality check of the consequences of neglect and underscores the importance of vigilance in elder care facilities.
Jonathan, a retired veteran and beloved grandfather, was admitted to the nursing facility for assistance with daily living and monitoring of his health. He was known for his sense of humor, sharp wit, and love for sharing stories from his time in the service to his grandkids
One evening, Jonathan suffered a fall in his room, striking his head. Instead of being sent to the hospital for evaluation or being monitored in a medical setting, the staff moved him to the nursing home lobby for periodic observation to check for signs of a serious head injury.
The facility’s failure to provide proper care was caught on video. Throughout the night, staff were seen walking right next to Jonathan without performing any meaningful checks on his condition. Despite the visible risk of a head injury, no one ensured that he was alert, responsive, or free from worsening symptoms.
When the morning shift arrived, Jonathan was found unresponsive in his wheelchair in the lobby. Tragically, he had passed away during the night due to complications from the fall—complications that might have been addressed had the staff followed proper observation and care protocols. This was completely avoidable!
Jonathan’s death destroyed his family, who had trusted the nursing home to provide him with the attentive care he needed. His children and grandchildren were left heartbroken and struggling with anger and frustration over the preventable nature of his passing.
The family’s grief was compounded by the knowledge that the facility had failed to follow even the most basic safety measures, leaving their loved one alone and untreated in his final moments.
