One state’s department of health has recently confirmed the probability that neglect occurred in a nursing home facility late last year. In 2018, one resident of that facility died shortly after a tracheostomy procedure.

The employee has since been suspended from work and the facility has conducted an investigation regarding proper training. For more, read the story.
