Massachusetts assisted living center faces wrongful death lawsuit after woman's fall

A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed against The Residence at Orchard Grove in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, after Nancy McNamara, 89, died following a fall. The suit claims she was left on the floor for over 18 hours before being discovered. The lawsuit, filed on January 3, alleges that staff were negligent in caring for McNamara, who required assistance with daily activities. It states that staff logged visits but did not check on her for nearly two days before her fall on December 4, 2021. McNamara was found injured and in pain, later dying from complications related to her injuries. The plaintiffs seek a jury trial and reparations for her suffering and funeral expenses.
