ARMSTRONG COUNTY NURSING HOME SUED IN CONNECTION WITH FORMER NURSE

A nursing home in Armstrong County is the latest to be sued in connection with a former nurse from Westmoreland County.  The Trib reports that the wrongful death lawsuit was filed against Armstrong Rehabilitation and Nursing Facility in Kittanning, and its parent company Armstrong SNF Operator LLC, and was filed on behalf of Louise Skinner, who died while under Heather Presdee’s care.  The PA Attorney General’s office say they have connected her to the deaths of at least 17 patients and the mistreatment of 22 patients overall.  She is accused of administering overdoses of insulin to patients.  Skinner’s family seeks unspecified damages and a jury trial.
