Landmark Elder Abuse Verdict:
Peck Law Group Secures $2.5 Million for Client

Case Overview:

  • Marie Singleton v. Integrated Care Communities, Inc., etc

  • Riverside County Superior Court, Case Number RIC1905182

  • Chad Firetag, Department 3

  • Marie Singleton, a resident at Integrated Care Communities (ICC), entered the assisted living facility in June 2018 with pre-existing conditions such as dementia, hypertension, and acid reflux. Despite her ability to care for herself initially, serious health concerns emerged over time.

    In September 2019, ICC staff discovered a deep, open wound on Ms. Singleton’s tailbone. Subsequent medical evaluation revealed a severe pressure injury, urinary tract and blood infections, leading to two surgical procedures and extensive medication.

  • The crux of the case revolved around ICC’s alleged failure to adhere to California state regulations, requiring reassessment of residents with dementia every 12 months or upon significant changes in their condition. Ms. Singleton’s health declined drastically, with no reassessment by ICC staff. Critical changes, including mobility issues and declining appetite, were reportedly overlooked, and medical professionals were not promptly informed.

    The plaintiff argued that timely reporting could have altered Ms. Singleton’s treatment plan, potentially preventing the severe pressure injury and associated complications.

  • ICC countered, asserting that their care staff promptly addressed Ms. Singleton’s health concerns. They argued that certain changes, such as decreased mobility and appetite, were typical for dementia patients and did not warrant immediate reporting.

    The defense maintained that the pressure injury on Ms. Singleton’s tailbone was not a result of negligence but rather an abscess caused by scratching.

  • Following a 14-day trial, the jury delivered a landmark verdict of $2.5 million, surpassing the plaintiff’s pre-trial demand and the defendant’s final offer. This case underscores the importance of proper assessment and reporting in assisted living facilities, setting a precedent for elder abuse cases and emphasizing the responsibility of care providers in ensuring the well-being of residents.
