Family Seeks Justice After Ohio Woman Dies of Sepsis Linked to Nursing Home Neglect

The family of Lucy Garcia, a 72-year-old Ohio woman who died of sepsis after developing a pressure wound at Arbors at Oregon nursing home, is seeking justice through a potential wrongful death lawsuit. Garcia passed away on July 2, and her attorney, Matt Mooney, asserts that systemic neglect at the facility contributed to her death. The autopsy report indicated that her death resulted from “caretaker neglect,” and the coroner ruled it a homicide. Mooney argues that management pressures forced staff to operate beyond reasonable limits, leading to inadequate care. The family claims Garcia was not turned or moved regularly, resulting in a severe pressure ulcer that went untreated until it became infected. They are currently awaiting records from the nursing home to proceed with legal action. Garcia was a beloved matriarch, known for her generosity and close ties with her large family, which includes four sons and nine great-grandchildren. Mooney emphasizes the need for accountability and aims to prevent similar incidents in the future.
