SPRINGFIELD — A Ludlow physician is one of the defendants in a lawsuit that claims he could’ve prevented an older woman’s death from “blunt force trauma” from her repeated falls at a senior care facility.
Janet C. Ladge was an 83-year-old woman who had dementia and a history of falling. She died last August after a fall at the Agawam East Rehab and Nursing facility in Pittsfield — the third fall in a matter of weeks, a legal complaint filed last week in Hampden Superior Court says.
On July 16, 2024, Ladge experienced the first fall. She was taken to Baystate Medical Center for evaluation. After she was discharged, she was transferred to the Pittsfield senior care center, which specializes in memory care for older adults.
