She needed assistance getting to and from the bathroom, but nursing staff did not help her.
Jarvis was found dead Dec. 13 after she fell and accidentally hanged herself when part of her hospital gown got caught on a bathroom door handle, according to the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office.
The state health department cited Van Duyn for its handling of her care.
Van Duyn’s nurse aides did not escort Jarvis even though her written care plan said she was at high risk of falling and required help, according to a state health department inspection report obtained by Syracuse.com | The Post-Standard.
