DERBY, Kan. — The family of an 88-year-old woman who died after she
was hurt at a nursing home that was taken over by the state has filed a
wrongful death lawsuit.
The suit alleges that Westview of Derby failed to properly care for
Barbara Ann Bennett after she slipped out of her recliner in January
2018 and hit her leg on a wheelchair. The Wichita Eagle reports that
despite swelling and bruising, she didn’t receive antibiotics until
almost a month later, after she fell again. The suit also alleges that
the facility failed to send her to a wound clinic for treatment as her
condition worsened.
She died in March, and the state took over the facility in September
due to insolvency. An attorney for LSL of Derby, a limited liability
company named in the lawsuit, declined to comment.
