Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers at Garcia & Artigliere File Suit Against of J and P Homes Orchid

LONG BEACH, Calif. - March 26, 2020 - PRLog -- Garcia & Artigliere is a nationally-recognized law firm focusing on cases of nursing home abuse and neglect. Recently, the firm's attorneys filed a lawsuit against J and P Homes Orchid, an assisted living facility located in Buena Park, California, on the grounds that their client suffered serious injuries due to abuse and negligent hiring and supervision.

According to the lawsuit, which was filed with the Superior Court of the State of California in Orange County, the plaintiff in this case was admitted to J and P Homes Orchid as a dependent adult on November 21, 2016. During her time at the facility, she sustained several preventable pressure sores on her right hip and both of her heels, with one progressing to a serious stage IV injury that exposed her bone and muscle, eventually becoming septic.

Pressure sores are defined as medical and nursing "never events," as there is no reasonable justification for these injuries to occur when a dependent adult receives proper care and supervision. Although assisted living facilities like J and P Homes Orchid are not required to keep medical professionals on staff, the facility still had a duty of care to keep the victim clean, dry, and comfortable to mitigate her increased risk of pressure sores.

By failing to provide this care – and failing to promptly notify medical professionals about the pressure sores – the staff at J and P Homes Orchid put their resident's life at risk. At Garcia & Artigliere, the victim's attorneys are asking for maximum compensation in this matter. If you have any information about conditions at this facility, the firm also invites you to come forward.
