A heartbreaking lawsuit in Luzerne County. The family of 99 year old Evelyn Snowdon say the woman suffered a slow death after her caregiver died and the agency didn’t know about it for days. Visiting Angels caregiver died in her client’s Luzerne County home this summer and nobody with her agency knew for days. Snowdon’s step-children filed a lawsuit against Visiting Angels, seeking damages as recompense for their stepmother’s suffering. According to the complaint, Visiting Angels assigned a new caregiver to Snowdon in June last year. Her name was Jamika Moore. The complaint states that Moore died in Snowdon’s home on July 26. Snowdon was there too. By the time Snowdon’s stepdaughter visited on August 6th, Snowdon was already dead. It had been more than a week since someone last saw them alive. On Thursday, almost six months later, Snowdon’s family filed a lawsuit alleging against Visiting Angels and others on 16 counts, including wrongful death. The suit seeks $50,000 in damages on each count.
