In the Circuit Court of Kanawha County, West Virginia, a lawsuit has been filed by Kevin Haynes, individually and as Administrator of the Estate of Ruth Haynes, against The Genesis Dunbar Center and related entities. The case ID is not clearly mentioned in the document and the date appears to be February 28th, though the year is not specified.
The plaintiff's attorney is Shannon M. Bland from Bland and Bland Attorneys at Law, L.C. The complaint alleges that while Ruth Haynes was a resident at the defendant's facility in Dunbar, West Virginia, she developed pressure sores which were not properly identified or treated. Additionally, she suffered from weight loss, malnutrition, and dehydration which were also not adequately addressed.
Furthermore, it is alleged that her medical records regarding these issues were not properly maintained and did not accurately document the progression of her condition. The defendants are also accused of failing to transfer Ruth Haynes to an acute care setting in a timely manner.
The plaintiff seeks judgment for medical negligence against the defendants for their failure to monitor Ruth Haynes' nutrition and fluid intake along with signs of infection and assessment for risk of skin breakdown.
