NW Iowa nursing home is being sued following death of a patient
A Pocahontas County nursing home is being sued by the family of a patient who died there last year. KTIV in Sioux City reports the family of Marvin “Pete” Jacobs has filed that suit against Fonda Specialty Care, its parent company Care Initiatives, two nurses, and a medical staffing firm. In the lawsuit, they allege that one of the nurses refused to provide necessary care to Marvin Jacobs on the night of February 18th, 2023, directly leading to Jacobs’ death.
They say the other nurse did not make other arrangements for that necessary care. The family is asking for an unspecified amount of money in compensatory and punitive damages from the defendants and demanding a jury trial.
