DELRAY BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2022 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — A lawsuit just filed against Lake View Care Center in Delray Beach alleges that workers were so incompetent and negligent that their actions led to a man’s death.
Arnold Schaub, according to the suit, developed sepsis, was dehydrated, malnourished, suffered from infections, and respiratory failure in the time before he died at the facility. The suit, filed by a family member, alleges that staff members at Lake View Care Center “failed to develop, implement, and update an adequate and appropriate protective and support services (plan) for Mr. Schaub.”
The suit additionally claims that Lake View Care Center “failed to properly notify the family and physicians of Arnold Schaub of significant changes in his health status, such as suffering the development and deterioration of infections and sepsis and suffering the development of respiratory failure.”
Workers, according to the suit, also failed to take and maintain accurate records for Mr. Schaub’s care.
