A 72-year-old female resident of Medford Multicare Center died recently due to the supposed neglect of nursing home employees. Aurelia Rios, 72, died due to not being attached to a ventilator machine which was ordered by a doctor. According to a civil suit, owners of the Center made close to $60 million for personal use over the last decade. Seven employees were arrested on Tuesday for allegedly allowing and covering up the death of the elderly woman. Two more employees were arrested for patient neglect.

The employees have been placed on a paid leave of absence while the issues are being reviewed. In the meantime, the state Department of Health must decide to either relocate patients or appoint a receiver to manage the home.
