The Heartbreaking Saga of Levon Ndaw: A Cry for Reformed Elderly Care
Information has not been updated for a long time

12/11/2023
It was 2017, but nothing quite prepared Levon Ndaw for the trail of tragedy that would eventually take her life.

The scene of the sad events took place in MidSouth Health and Rehabilitation Center, where Levon Ndaw, an elderly resident, became a victim of gross negligence. Her story is a heartbreaking one, yet, it crucially highlights the need for urgent reform and accountability in elderly care facilities.

 

How Events Unfolded

Ms. Ndaw's ordeal began when she developed pressure sores, which are common in bedridden patients. These painful afflictions are avoidable with proper care. However, thanks to the nursing staff’s oversight in ensuring routine turning and repositioning, the painful sores developed.

 

Over time, the sores got worse, leading to complicated infections. As the gravity of the situation escalated, she required surgical intervention. Sadly, this downward, negative spiral in her health, stemming from avoidable neglect and a distinct lack of care, culminated in Ms. Ndaw's premature demise.

 

Seeking Justice for Ms. Ndaw

As any loving family would, the outraged family of Ms. Ndaw sought out justice for her by turning to the Jehl Law Group, PLLC. They hoped to hold MidSouth Health and Rehabilitation Center and its management accountable. But in a shocking twist, the nursing home and its overseeing management company failed to acknowledge any wrongdoing or the gravity of the situation.

They also exhibited an inexplicable absence of response to the lawsuit.

 

The court was appalled by this glaring oversight and granted a default judgement against the rehabilitation center and its management. This decision would lead to a bench trial, organised solely to assess the extent of damages for Ms. Ndaw's painful sufferings and eventual death.

 

During the trial, the Jehl Law Group, PLLC, meticulously went through the sequence of events, painting an ugly picture of negligence and disregard for Ms. Ndaw. The testimonies from Ms.

 

Ndaw's kin were sorrowful, with the court hearing first-hand accounts of her ordeals. In addition, medical professionals provided insights into the gross deviations from standard elderly care practices. They emphasised how these lapses directly resulted in the severe pressure sores that developed and tragically expedited Ms. Ndaw's death.


Glaring Malpractices

The lack of care and poor attitude to resident's care didn't end there. In an alarming revelation, evidence suggested that MidSouth Health and Rehabilitation Center deliberately withheld crucial medical records. Also, there were indications of fraudulent entries in Ms. Ndaw's medical records, seemingly in a desperate bid to free the facility of potential liability. Such sinister manoeuvres only served to reinforce the facility's apathy and its inclination to prioritise profit and self-preservation over truth and accountability.

 

Thankfully, the Jehl Law Group, PLLC, never backed down in its pursuit of justice. They unearthed various underhanded practices prevalent in the nursing home, particularly its

profit-first approach in the industry. Further, the facility was consistently understaffed, resulting in inadequate care and oversights. A pattern of dwindling essential supplies further corroborated the narrative of a center more interested in cutting costs than optimising its duty of care.

 

A Win for the Ndaw's

With the overwhelming evidence and the unimpeachable lapse in care standards, the court concluded that the conventional statutory cap on damages wouldn't apply in this case. In its judgement, the court underscored the nursing home's recklessness and biassed disdain for the well-being of its residents. It pointed out that such callous behaviour only warranted punitive damages.

 

The conclusion to this sombre tale was more than fitting, as the Jehl Law Group, PLLC, managed to secure justice for Ms. Ndaw and her grieving family. The nursing home was ordered to pay compensation to the tune of $3,500,000.00.

 

The gut-wrenching saga of Levon Ndaw represents more than just a cautionary tale. It represents an unmistakable call for ironclad regulations, sharp-eyed oversight, and a renewed commitment to the sanctity and dignity of every life within elderly care facilities.
