SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - A Savannah family is warning others about care at a local nursing home after they say their loved one’s condition deteriorated due to inadequate treatment.

James and Cynthia Fullwood placed James’ mother, Mary Fullwood, at PruittHealth Savannah after she suffered a stroke. The family chose the facility based on its reputation, but say the care Mary received was substandard.

Care concerns documented in medical records

“There are situations where she’s allowed to lay in her own filth. She hasn’t been changed adequately,” Cynthia Fullwood said. “There’s two separate occasions where family has come in in the morning and she had feces on her hands.”
