Woodland Behavioral and Nursing Center at Andover, one of the state's largest long-term care facilities, is facing multiple investigations
Disability Rights New Jersey, a nonprofit authorized under federal law to represent the legal interests of people with mental and developmental disabilities, petitioned the court for a temporary restraining order againstWoodland’s owners and other senior company officials verbally berated Disability Rights investigators, limited access to the facility and refused to allow private conversations with residents, according to the claim filed Tuesday.
Woodland’s Attorney Peter Slocum told Judge Brian Martinotti during the virtual hearing that although there was initially a “heated exchange” by both parties, the request for a restraining order was entirely unnecessary.“Personality conflicts are not what is at issue,” replied Andrew R. Wolf, an attorney representing Disability Rights. “They did not get reasonable access.”
Martinotti granted the temporary injunction. “There are clearly individuals who will suffer harm, and Disability Rights New Jersey harm being unable to meet their mandate” to protect the legal rights of people with disabilities, the judge said. The nonprofit organization has been sending staff periodically to Woodland since Easter weekend in April 2020, afteroverflowing with the bodies of residents who had died from COVID-19, according to the lawsuit, filed jointly by the Dann Law Firm in North Brunswick. But it renewed its efforts after the state Health Department’s recent inspection revealed detailed instances of abuse and neglect at what is one of the largest nursing homes in New Jersey.
In a highly critical report, health inspectors found no efforts had been made to resuscitate or even call 911 for a 55-year-old resident whose heart stopped on New Year’s Day. One aide left a resident with bed sores to lie in feces overnight, and faced no discipline, according to the inspection report obtained by NJ Advance Media.
