(KAIR)--Damages in excess of $75,000 are sought in a lawsuit filed against an Atchison County owned senior care facility.

The lawsuit, filed last month in Atchison County District Court, alleges that a former resident suffered injuries, resulting in death, due to negligent practices at Atchison Senior Village.

The lawsuit is filed on behalf of Atchison County resident Terrie Goodpasture whose mother, Towanda Juanita Goodpasture, died July 2, 2016 while residing at Senior Village, where she had lived since December, 2014.

The lawsuit claims that Towanda Goodpasture received improper care, neglect, and abuse, which ultimately played a role in her death, following a fall that broke her hip on June 22, 2016.

The lawsuit alleges that numerous state and federal regulations “governing intermediate and skilled nursing facilities" were violated, and makes the claim that steps were made to change the records related to the late resident's physical condition following the fall.

Named in the lawsuit are Atchison Senior Village, the Atchison County Commission, Atchison Senior Village Administrator Peggy House, Directors of Nursing Tina Paradise-Hall and Leesa Mosher, and Andrea Clark and Donna Peterson, both identified in the lawsuit as employees who provided care to Towanda Goodpasture following her fall.

Four counts are outlined in the document: negligent health care, wrongful death, breach of warranty of habitability, and breach of contract.

The lawsuit was filed June 27 by the Saint Joseph, Missouri law firm Murphy, Taylor, Siemens, and Elliott P.C. on behalf of Terrie Goodpasture and the Estate of Towanda Goodpasture.

A hearing date is not immediately set.
