Our client, a dependent adult with physical and mental health challenges, was admitted to a skilled nursing facility for short-term rehabilitation. During her stay, she was sexually assaulted by a certified nursing assistant with a documented history of prior sexual misconduct at multiple other facilities. Despite the facility’s legal obligation to conduct background checks and monitor staff, the employee was hired without proper vetting and left unsupervised. The assaults caused significant trauma, and she was forced to remain in the facility after the attacks due to her medical needs. This case settled confidentially for $950,000.00.
