2017Jane Doe v. Woe Nursing Home, Virginia Circuit Court (2017)-Confidential
Doe suffered a progressive condition that made her bed bound and dependent on all of her activities of daily living, including turning and repositioning in bed. Her caregiver was unable to care for her for a period of time and she was admitted to Woe Nursing Home. She was admitted without skin breakdown. While in the nursing home for only a short period she developed a stage IV decubitis pressure sore on one of her lower extremities, from a lack of turning and repositioning by Woe’s staff. Her caregiver took her home and healed her pressure sore. The parties settled through mediation for $450,000.00.
