A seventh lawsuit is filed in federal court in South Dakota over alleged abuse of residents at an Albert Lea nursing home. The lawsuit claims the Sioux Falls based Evangelical Good Samaritan Society failed to properly oversee employees at the home in Albert Lea. A 2008 Minnesota Health Department investigation concluded that several nursing assistants mistreated dementia and Alzheimer's patients.
Reportedly, one woman has been sentenced to three months in jail in the case and another is scheduled for sentencing in December. The Good Samaritan Society is asking for the lawsuits to be dismissed.
