Lawsuit filed against West Delray facility after COVID death March 12, 2021 at 11:01 AM EST - Updated March 12 at 6:51 PM
Attorneys for a family announced a wrongful death lawsuit Friday against a West Delray Beach assisted living center after their loved one died of COVID-19.
Sara Schleider, 81, was a resident of Grand Villa of Delray East who contracted the coronavirus after an outbreak occurred at the facility in May 2020, according to attorneys.
A lawsuit alleges that Grand Villa withheld from the family that at least 43 other patients from that same memory ward had also contracted the virus. She died absolutely unnecessarily at the hands of Grand Villa of Delray East. There was a complete lack of training, protections and basic cleanliness at the facility, attorney Spencer Kuvin said Friday.
