Allegations: The Resident was at Palms Care Center from approximately February 11, 2015 to February 17, 2015. Prior to her stay at Palms Care Center, the Resident had fallen and broken her left hip and then contracted MRSA and E. Coli post an ORIF surgery. She spent about a month in the hospital where an infectious disease team was able to control these disease. Within days of her admission to the Facility, she began to display symptoms of an altered state and her temperature started to spike. She was rushed to Florida Medical Center on February 17, 2015 where she was quickly intubated. The records show she “did not get all her antibiotics” while at the Facility. On February 18, 2015, the Resident was intubated, on a ventilator and critically ill. At 10:10AM she coded and passed away. The Resident’s death was directly and proximately caused by the Facility’s failure to administer all prescribed medications while she was a patient there. Had the prescribed medications been appropriately administered, she would not have died.
