2:19-cv-00013 | U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana

Filed Date: Jan. 10, 2019

Case Summary

(This summary is temporary while we research the case.) This case involves a man who resided at a nursing home in Indiana where he was chemically restrained, rather than treated for his dementia-related needs, and moved to another facility. After his death, his family filed suit against the Heath and Hospital Corporation of Marion County under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for depriving his rights under the Federal Nursing Home Reform Act (FNHRA), which gives nursing home residents the rights to be free from chemical and physical restraints. 

The case was ultimately heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.
