Nursing Home CEO and Physicians Sued for Wrongful Death of Norwich Man



Termini is alleged to have used nursing home funds to, among

other things, launch Category 5 Records, pictured here.


Attorney Scott D. Camassar has filed a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the estate of a Norwich man who died after developing gangrene in his legs while a patient in a nursing home. Although the Haven Healthcare chain had filed for bankruptcy court protection, The Law Firm of Stephen M. Reck is also seeking to hold the patient's doctors accountable for their own poor care, along with Haven's CEO Raymond Termini, who is being investigated for using nursing home funds to furnish a lavish lifestyle and start a Nashville record company. Attorney Camassar is also seeking to sue the State of Connecticut Ombudsman's office for allowing the nursing homes to operate at a substandard level and for failing to respond to the family's complaints about poor care. The case has received widespread media attention including front-page coverage by the Hartford Courant (read the article here).

Glad to see there are some trustworthy attorneys out there willing to take action and pursue justice for the victims of nursing home abuse and neglect in the court of law. Unfortunately nursing home negligence is becoming increasingly common but there seems to be a lack of awareness and accountability. Keep up the good fight for our senior citizens!
