A woman in the San Mateo facility, operated by Louisville-based Atria Senior Living, believed she was getting fruit juice when it turned out to be dishwashing liquid.
Two residents of Northern California assisted living facilities, operated by the same Kentucky-based company, died this week following similar accidental poisonings, officials and family said Friday.
"It's like leaving a bottle of caustic cleaning agent in a daycare. It's the same kind of thing," the son said."They don't know what it is and he didn't know what it is. He just saw something to drink and he drank it." "On the night of August 23, 2022, a resident at the Atria Walnut Creek community appeared to suffer a negative reaction. Staff immediately contacted 911, alerted the resident’s family, and the resident was transferred to the hospital," according to a company statement.
The senior citizen’s death is still being investigated by the Contra Costa County coroner and the agency still hasn’t determined a cause of death, a representative for the agency said Friday.
