- According to the documentation, the facility failed to provide wound care treatment for the Alleged Victim’s wounds. On or about April 18, 2024, the AV’s medical provider wrote an order to have facility staff provide wound care to the AV’s legs as the AV allows. The AV has a history of refusing treatments. From approximately April 29, 2024, through May 16, 2024, the medical provider noticed the worsening of the AV’s wounds. On or about May 20, 2024, the AV was hospitalized due to the severity of their wounds. Once in the hospital, the AV was diagnosed with an infection that spread through the entirety of their body.
