LONG BEACH, Calif. - April 22, 2020 - PRLog -- Nationally recognized for their work as elder abuse litigators, the attorneys at Garcia & Artigliere recently filed a lawsuit against Golden Living Center – Portside in Stockton, California, alleging that their client's loved one endured elder abuse and neglect at this skilled nursing facility.

Upon admission to Golden Living Center, the injury victim had already been diagnosed with Moyamoya disease, after surviving a stroke in 2012 that required two brain surgeries and left her left arm and leg weakened. Because Moyamoya disease greatly increases the risk of a repeated stroke event, the staff at Golden Living Center had a responsibility to carefully monitor the victim for signs of ischemic stroke.

Despite knowing that every minute counts for those who suffer a stroke, the staff at Golden Living center – Portside failed to react in a timely manner when the injury victim had an ischemic stroke on March 6, 2020. The victim herself was forced to notify her family about the event, as facility staff was only "monitoring" her and failed to provide immediate transport to Saint Joseph's Medical Center.

Once admitted to the hospital, an MRI scan revealed that she had indeed suffered an acute ischemic stroke. Because she did not obtain treatment in time, the injury victim was left almost unintelligible and even further weakened on her left side.

At this time, the family of the victim is asking for maximum damages from the facility, alleging that they engaged in dependent adult abuse and negligent hiring and supervision. Their attorneys at Garcia & Artigliere also request that anyone with information about Golden Living Center – Portside come forward and share their story.
