NY rest home resident injured outside facility

More by this author

A car accident outside a Long Island rest home that critically injured a resident was the second such incident in less than two years at the facility.

Nancy Mikkelsen was hit after leaving the Bayview Rest Home early Wednesday. The 70-year-old remained in “very critical” condition Friday.

Staff told authorities she was taking her daily walk. State health officials are investigating the accident.

Bayview officials didn’t respond to messages.

In 2008, another Bayview resident left the home unnoticed. He missed three meals and medication. The next day a relative told employees he had died in a car accident.

State health officials cited the facility for improper supervision and ordered it to develop procedures for absences exceeding 24 hours.
