When a Nursing Home Calls It “Unavoidable” — What Pressure Ulcers Really Mean in Norridge and Elk Grove Village You found the sore during a visit. Or the hospital called to say your mother was transferred from the facility with wounds you never knew existed. Or someone at the home told you it was “just part of her condition” — that bedsores happen to people who can’t move themselves, that it’s the disease, not the care. That sentence is the one we hear more than any other, and it is the one we need to talk about first, because it is almost never true. What happened to a resident who developed multiple pressure ulcers in facilities in Norridge and Elk Grove Village is not an isolated story. A lawsuit filed in the Cook County Circuit Court — Case No. 18-L-4571 — alleged that Norridge Gardens LLC, ManorCare of Elk Grove Village, and other healthcare providers failed in pressure ulcer prevention, causing a resident to develop multiple pressure ulcers and suffer physical and mental health deterioration. We are not that resident’s lawyers. We were not hired in that case. But we handle cases like it, and we know exactly how they…

West Des Moines, Iowa Nursing Home Neglect: Nine Days of Screaming, a Destroyed Record Book, and Twenty Federal Violations If you are reading this at 2 a.m. because your mother, your father, your grandmother is in a nursing home in West Des Moines — or because she was, and she is no longer alive — you already know more than most people will ever understand about what it feels like to trust a facility with someone you love and discover that trust was broken. You may have heard about what happened at the skilled nursing facility on Grand Ridge Drive. A woman complained of severe pain. A nurse identified the problem — an anal fissure — and reported it to an advanced registered nurse practitioner, who ordered ointment without ever walking into the room to examine her. For nine days, no one assessed her condition. When staff finally found her screaming audibly down the hallway, with blood pressure so low her body was shutting down and bowel movement emerging from her vaginal area, it took an hour and a half to get an order to send her to the emergency room. She was in septic shock. She had gangrene near…

Newton, Iowa Nursing Home Neglect: When a Facility Chooses Profit Over a Life If you are reading this page, someone you love may have come home from a nursing home in a condition no one can explain to you — or they may not have come home at all. You may be standing in a hospital hallway right now, looking at wounds you were never told about, hearing words like “sepsis” and “osteomyelitis” for the first time, and feeling the ground shift under you. We know that ground. We know what it means when a facility that promised to care for your mother or your father instead let her body break down in ways that are not accidents, not aging, and not bad luck. They are the foreseeable result of choices made three companies up the ownership chain — choices about how many nurses to staff, how often to turn a resident who cannot turn herself, and whether to change a dressing that a doctor ordered changed. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We take nursing home neglect and wrongful death cases in Iowa, and we build them the way they have to be built: by freezing…
