Manor Care has not responded to the suit as of mid-day Thursday, October 6th. Attorneys for the plaintiff claim that Peter Ambrosio was so poorly cared for by Manor Care staff that he died.
From the lawsuit: “Ambrosio was admitted to the Defendants’ nursing home for care and supervision relating to ongoing medical conditions and cognitive changes 40. At all times material, RESIDENT was at risk for preventable injuries including but not limited to skin breakdown, falls, wandering, infection, malnutrition, and dehydration. During admission and at all times material, RESIDENT was vulnerable and unable to care for themselves and was dependent on facility staff for assistance in performing their activities of daily living.
