: Tennessee Law BlogKentucky and Tennessee Nursing Home Deaths Make News
Nursing home deaths from abuse or neglect in Tennessee do not always make the nightly news, especially while an investigation is ongoing. Perhaps the recent reporting of nursing home deaths in this week?s news comes on the crest of TN nursing home industry's anti-lawsuit legislation or maybe, finally, nursing home deaths from negligence are being treated with the importance they deserve.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, acting on a Knox County medical examiner?s opinion that her death was caused by poor nursing home treatment, is investigating the possible homicide of Hillcrest North nursing home resident Linda Darlene Carter. Ms. Carter suffered the horrors of dehydration due to inadequate care.
Ms. Carter had been injured in a car crash and had been transferred from the University of Tennessee Medical Center to Hillcrest Healthcare North to recover. Instead, the nursing home allegedly neglected to provide adequate care, namely, she received insufficient hydration for her to live, much less heal from her injuries.
