New trial set in Winnebago County nursing home elder abuse case

The Iowa Court of Appeals has reversed a multi-million dollar judgment against a Winnebago County nursing home and ordered a new trial. A jury awarded the estate of Darlene Weaver six million dollars from the Timely Mission Nursing Home in Buffalo Center after family members claimed gross negligence and elderly abuse prior to her death in 2017. The nursing home appealed, citing the accusations are inaccurate ‘here say.’ The Appeals Court reversed the verdict and ordered a new trial.
