The Disability Law Center just released a scathing report which says more oversight of long-term care facilities is needed by the State of Utah.
The report focuses on 48-year-old Chien Nguyen, a resident at Evergreen Place in Midvale, who died by suicide last year after being transferred to another facility, Hollow Care Center in Orem.His brother Nick Nguyen said he cared for his brother for 15 years. He says Chien struggled with schizophrenia and suicidal ideations.
The facility was shut down in January 2022 for horrific conditions, including raw sewage and bed bugs. “My understanding is he at some point in that process, they found that he had an intellectual disability,” he said, “Though he had gone through high school and nobody had ever diagnosed this before. So, how he ended up there is kind of curious.”
