Dozens of LaSalle Veterans Home families will speak out Tuesday after filing lawsuits condemning reportedly preventable COVID deaths.
"When we placed him in LaSalle, we basically rejoiced, we thought we had found a place where he could spend the rest of his years," said Rich Cochran, Ouimet's son-in-law.
"It was the result of negligence. That part of it will never sink in," said Lara Lundquist-Schuler, daughter of a victim."We just kept trying to reassure him that this is the safest place for you. They're trying to keep you safe. This is all going to end soon," recalled Funfsinn. "The OIG issued a scathing 50-page report documenting everything that went wrong at the LaSalle Veteran's home from top to bottom," said Steven Levin, Founding Partner, Levin & Perconti.
That patient was Korean War veteran Richard Cieski., whose family, like countless others, was forced to say goodbye through a glass window.
