PHOENIX—A long-term care facility where an Arizona woman in a vegetative state was raped and gave birth said on Jan. 18, that it’s investigating another patient’s allegation of physical abuse.
Hacienda HealthCare officials said in a news release that the female patient accused a registered nurse and a certified caregiver, both women, of abuse. The workers yelled at her and hit her head and arm, she alleged Thursday as federal and state auditors surveyed the Phoenix facility.
