Senior-care giant Atria told family of Walnut Creek victim that he had eaten ‘spicy chips,’ lawsuit by San Mateo victim’s family claims.
A senior-care chain whose San Mateo facility saw two residents die after drinking caustic liquid has tried to cover up a third similar death at its care home in Walnut Creek, a new lawsuit claims.
“At the time, Atria Walnut Creek said to the family and in public statements that Mr. Canoun had eaten ‘spicy chips’ and fallen ill as a result,” the suit claims. “That was an attempt to cover up Atria’s liability. Constantine had suffered extreme burns and lesions to his throat, esophagus, and larynx. Those injuries were consistent with having ingested a poisonous liquid.”
Maxwell “immediately became distressed” but staff did not call 911 for more than “30 excruciating minutes,” the suit claimed. “Trudy was in extreme pain, distress, and agony for over 30 minutes while Atria staff simply waited,” the suit alleged. “The liquid began to burn and melt her mouth, throat, and esophagus. The toxic chemical essentially melted the lining of Trudy’s digestive tract.” The lawsuit document contains graphic photos showing apparent severe burns to Maxwell’s mouth.
Atria said it devotes “significant resources to ensure our staff are thoroughly trained and able to meet our residents’ needs at all times” and said it was continuing to work with authorities.“the employees involved” while it investigates, but did not say how many workers it suspended.
