Jean Vicoli, 93, was admitted to Attleboro Nursing and Rehabilitation Center for rehabilitation following her fall, which resulted in a fractured femur and other injuries. A fall prevention care plan allegedly was put in place, including encouragement to call for assistance before moving about by walking.
The staff later noted that she was confused and had gait problems. She also had developed a sacral pressure sore.
Within a month of her admission, she fell twice. She suffered a traumatic head injury and fractured her arm. Vicoli’s pain increased, and her health continued to decline. She later died and was survived by her two children.
