Nursing Home Worker Sentenced for Abuse

Former Nursing Home Worker Sentenced for Abusing Elderly Resident

Nursing Home Worker Abusing A Resident. A former worker at a nursing home in Pennsylvania has been sentenced to three to 12 months in prison for abusing a resident. According to WNEP16, former certified nursing assistant Joshua Wegielewski was accused of injuring a 76-year-old dementia patient at the Green Ridge Gardens nursing home in […]

Bruises Appeared On The Victim

Multiple bruises appeared on the victim’s wrist, arm and shoulder, an investigator with the Agency on Aging said to the judge during a preliminary hearing. Assistant district attorney Susan Price said “Not only did he restrain her in her room, but the way he grabbed her and forced her and pushed her into the room and caused her bruising was uncalled for,” according to WNEP16.

Sadly, cases of nursing home abuse and neglect are all too common. Last summer, nine people were arrested and indicted in connection with the death of a New York nursing home resident. The victim, Aurelia Rios, died at the Medford Multicare Center for temporary rehab in 2012. Rios had been previously hospitalized for a breathing disorder, and her doctor gave explicit instructions for her to be hooked up to a ventilator at night. A licensed nurse failed to read these orders the patient suffocated. Furthermore, staff members allegedly failed to response to visual and audio alarms for nearly two hours despite being near the monitors.

Excellent law firm. I never had to leave the house. The researchers went to both the hospital and my own home to collect all the required information and followed up on the entire process. Don't make a bad decision by choosing this firm. The solution was convenient and quite fast compared to other nearby experiences. Linda and Jorge were very attentive to the entire process and were very concerned about a prompt resolution. Many thanks to your firm and your excellent secretaries and legal representatives Linda and Jorge from the Parker Waichman LLP firm. Congratulations on your efficient service.

I was involved in an accident back in 2021 and Jorge Luis Peniche one of the employees referred me to Parker Waichman LLP. They took care of me like I was family. Gillian and Aurora called me regularly to ask me how I was doing and made sure I went to my appointments ect. They went above and beyond to get me the best settlement possible for my injuries. I would definitely recommend anyone involved in an accident to go with Parker and Waichman.
