group home death
 

The most serious incident involved the death of one female resident after a broken leg went untreated and led to an infection.

A nurse at the home noticed markings on the resident's leg that could have been an infection. The patient was sent to the hospital where it was determined she had a broken leg for several days and had contracted the infection sepsis. She died six days later

 

evv will cause more people to be placed in group homes
