The Delaware Avenue nursing home where an 82-year-old woman suffered
fatal injuries in a beating last year has been fined $10,000 by the New
York State Health Department.
Ruth Murray was a resident of Emerald South Nursing and
Rehabilitation Center, 1175 Delaware Ave. near West Ferry Street, in
Buffalo. On the morning of Aug. 26, she mistakenly wandered into a man’s
room in the dementia unit, where she also lived, and the attack
occurred.
Inspectors said she wandered unsupervised into the room, and the man
reacted violently believing a man was breaking into his house. Murray
suffered a broken neck, several broken ribs, a broken nose, facial
fractures and a collapsed lung in the attack. She died three days later
in Erie County Medical Center.
