Charlotte Nursing Home sued after suffering maggot-infected wounds found in a dementia patient

The Charlotte nursing home is facing lawsuits after a woman's wound has been infected with maggots and urges her grandchild to seek legal action against the facility and its owner.

Bernice Mays, an 81-year-old dementia patient, developed an infected maggot wound four months after recovering from Covid-19 while living at a university nursing and rehabilitation centre.

Her grandson, Justin Waddell, filed a lawsuit in Mecklenburg County Superior Court.

“The health and well-being of our residents is our number one priority,” facility manager Tou Lor said in an email to the Charlotte Observer.

Mays had lived at the university location for about a year when he signed up for Covid-19 and was temporarily transferred to a facility specializing in Covid-19 treatment. Upon returning home, she developed bed pain in her heels.

According to the lawsuit, by August 2021, Maggots had been found with Maze's wounds and the nursing home was allegedly not taking appropriate action. The medical director reportedly ordered the wound to be washed with vinegar and water without personally investigating it.

After receiving a video of the wounds from the nurse, Waddell insists that his grandmother will be taken to the hospital. He later filed a complaint with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, leading to facilities fines and corrective actions.

The lawsuit seeks compensation damages and trial by jury, highlighting ongoing concerns regarding nursing home care standards, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic.
