LAS VEGAS (AP) - Employees at a Las Vegas assisted-living and Alzheimer's facility could face criminal charges as part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of neglect.
The Nevada Division of Aging and Disability Services has turned over an investigative report to the attorney general's office to determine whether charges will be filed.
The investigation into allegations of neglect by employees of Chancellor Gardens of the Lakes had previously found that dozens of residents went without their medications and suffered neglect under the care of unqualified staff.
In a new report released Monday, investigators say hundreds of pills that should have been administered were discarded, a patient with a history of seizures had suffered several falls.
